. Our event generated more than $3500 for ShanesWay. This is far more than we thought possible for our first event!! Plus, there were over 180 participants…wow!! ABOUT US
The Shane Cattanach Memorial Foundation was begun out of necessity… a parent’s need to make sense out of the senseless.
We lost our oldest son, Shane Cattanach, on November 20, 2009, due to complications from asthma, a disease he had endured all his 27 years. Shane never let his asthma distract him from achieving his goals. He lived life to its fullest: earning 2 black belts by the time he was 14, skateboarding, hunting, fishing, mobbing his Chevy pickup, busing tables, bungee jumping, bartending, brewing beer, graduating with a BA in Finance, skydiving, surfing, running a ½ marathon, traveling, living in Ireland for a year, boxing, MMA training, visiting with friends and family, and living large! Our motto is the bio that Shane wrote about himself for his myspace.com page. It says it all. Our goal is to help other young adults who have life threatening illnesses to have a “Get it in while you can” moment.
This application represents the first step towards helping a deserving young person achieve a Life's Moment" -

There were a few snafu's, but you'all were so understanding…thanks! A few medals were misplaced and are now ordered…not sure if everyone received their t-shirts…so if you didn't please let me know. We are ordering more because we are almost out of our 200 shirt order!!! Next year we will start everyone at the same time so there is less confusion for the runners…and we really hope to build on the Toddler Trot (yes, toddlers, next year we will have a treat at the end…sorry!) and have a motorized/wheel chair division!

THE FIELD'S ANNUAL GOLF TOURNAMENT •
Dear Friends,
The Field is very pleased to announce it’s annual golf tournament fundraiser which, this year will be

For those of you who did not get the opportunity to know him, Shane Cattanach was a Bartender at The
Field for over 2 years, much loved by both his colleagues and customers alike. Shane passed away at age
27 due to complications from Asthma, a disease he had endured throughout his life. With this affliction,
Shane never let his Asthma distract him from achieving his goals. He lived life to the fullest, earning 2
black belts in the Martial Arts by the time he was 14, running Marathons and traveling to Ireland,
spending the last year of his life living in Belfast and boxing at a gym famous for training the Irish
champion Joe Rogan, a gym that had high hopes for ‘Sugar Shane’.

Two Pair : Two sets of pairs e.g. a pair of Aces and a pair of Kings.
Pair : Two cards of the same rank e.g. two Aces, two Kings etc..
High Card : If you have none of the above, then the highest value card in your hand plays.
Notes:
Aces count high for all hands – e.g. a pair of Aces beats a pair of Kings.
In a straight an Ace can count low (e.g. A, 2, 3, 4, 5) OR high (e.g. T, J, Q, K, A) but NOT BOTH (e.g. Q, K, A,
2, 3 is NOT a straight).
If any card drawn is a duplicate of a card previously drawn, that card must be re-drawn. No hand can have duplicate cards (e.g. you cannot have more than one King of Hearts in your hand).
Prizes are awarded on the poker hand rankings outlined above, not on speed. We want all participants to have fun and remain safe, so please take your time on the run.
