About Shane

Posted by admin at 9:30 pm Add comments

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. 

Shane 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 in Redding, Los Angeles, San Diego and even Ireland, 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.
