Ways to Support The Fund
The watercolors in Shanna’s book, Sincerely Shanna, are her own work. They are being sold on an online gallery site in various size prints. Some of the proceeds from the sale of the art will support the breast cancer research foundation.
On September 11, 2001, Shanna was an ambitious, eager and healthy young woman embarking on her career in New York City when she witnessed the unthinkable. Nine months later, she returned to the toxic Ground Zero a little too soon…Fast forward 10 years, and the peak of her career, and Shanna was handed a devastating diagnosis that changed her and her young family’s life forever.
‘How I Chose the Life I Wanted: Sincerely, Shanna’ shares a series of letters written over seven years about how her devastating health diagnosis gave her the courage to make important changes in her life. It put her life into sharp focus and gave it more meaning.
Shanna takes you from the top of the world to the depths of the country’s finest cancer institutions and then back, up and around on her roller coaster ride to acceptance. You will cry with sadness then reel with delight as Shanna desperately turns her unfair hand at life into inspirational messages for her generation.
Donate To The Event
This year our efforts will largely go to supporting the amazing work being done at Memorial Sloan Kettering by Shanna’s oncologist, Dr. Larry Norton. We are also exploring contributions to research in the leptomeningeal or spinal fluid domains which also affected Shanna, so stay tuned. More details are available upon request around this research initiative.
