Angels for Shannon started out as a mission of the heart to save the life of a friend which has now become a mission of love and to pay it forward.
It began on July 5th, 2010 when Shannon Knight was diagnosed with the recurrence of stage 4 breast cancer. A small fortress of Shannon's dearest friends started Angels for Shannon to raise money that would get her the treatment she needed with the hope to save her life.
It was through these women and their selfless acts of giving, that Angels for Shannon turned out to be a successful lifesaving mission that affected the hearts of many people. Their determination to raise money quickly inspired friends, families, businesses and communities all across the nation. They were able to meet their goal and raise the money and get Shannon to the hospital for treatment which resulted in her full remission. Of course her husband, son, daughter and family were a very integral part of her healing as well but these women took it upon themselves to raise this money.
Shannon made a promise to many people she spoke to, that if she pulled through this she would pay it forward and raise money for other cancer patients that were struggling with expenses. In her own words she said, “I want to pay it forward, Angels for Shannon needs to carry on forever; I don't want it just to end with me. It's important to me that I go on helping others for the rest of my life”.
Angels for Shannon have taken flight and begun their mission; they started the process in becoming a nonprofit 501 c 3 charity that will allow them to raise money to assist cancer patients that are unable to afford travel expenses to hospitals in other states or countries.
Angels for Shannon knows that to make any organization successful it requires a team effort, not just focusing on your own cause but to help other nonprofit organizations as well. If people can help other people; well than why not charities helping other charities?
Anytime I have given to a charity or someone that needed food or clothing throughout my life there has never been a single regret, on the contrary it has made me smile.
