My name is Shane Byers. I am a life-long Londoner, and work as the General Manager of Trademark Condominium Property Management, and as a professor with Fanshawe College at the Lawrence Kinlin School of Business.
In August,2018; my life was turned upside down as I learned that my incredible 18-year old daughter had suddenly developed Leukemia. Kayla was weeks away from leaving the nest and moving to residence at the University of Waterloo. Kayla developed complications early in her treatment, and passed away only a few weeks after her shocking diagnosis.
My daughter was the best part of my world. I was so proud of her remarkable spirit, passion, compassion, humour, and love of life. Kayla was my child and my friend. In honor of her, and to live up to the legacy she built in the years that she had, I (and many, many of her family and friends) am committed to being a part of the effort in making this world a better place.
I am with the LLSC because of my deep personal connection to this cause. The LLSC is instrumental in spearheading treatment and progress against blood cancers, and my goal is to help make London one of the top fundraising centers in this national effort.
As a supporter, in memory, or as a survivor… share with others why you are helping end blood cancers by participating in a Light the Night Walk
