Shyann ~ In Loving Memory

In honor of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, we remember Keaton Kiddo Shyann, a beautiful young warrior who fought a strenuous three year battle against Ewing’s Sarcoma, a cancer that affects bones and soft tissue. Shyann began her journey on May 24th, 2018. A bright young girl, she enjoyed movies, makeup, and clothes. From the start of her journey, Shyann was supported by her mom, dad, twin sister and younger siblings. She also found comfort in connecting with another Keaton kiddo who not only provided emotional support, but also formed an everlasting bond and friendship.

Keaton’s was fortunate enough to be a part of Shyann’s journey by sharing a family Hope Chest, meeting her family at our family events and supplying financial support as she endured treatment, in order to alleviate as much stress as possible. Surrounded by love, Shyann gained her angel wings on July 17th, 2021. Although words cannot express how deeply saddened we are, we celebrate Shyann’s life and legacy, honoring her journey.

A Mother’s Perspective

“The bell was loud, clear, and powerful – but the journey to earn those three rings was even louder. Hearing it echo through the halls was overwhelming… tears, relief, gratitude, and the deep ache of everything it took to reach this moment. We weren’t just hearing a bell – we were feeling every second, every battle, every ounce of courage it represented.

He didn’t just ring the bell. He rang in victory.”

~ Sarah, Mother of Charlie, Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia B-Cell Warrior
