About us

Our goal is to honor the memory of a courageous little boy who lost his battle to brain cancer in August, 2011 at the age of six. John truly was a superhero and all proceeds from our event go to the John Shapiro Superheroes Foundation and will benefit local families with children battling cancer.

Thanks from Michelle’s family

Dear Nancy & Ron,

We cannot begin to thank you enough for the kind and generous donation to our family.

Our journey began on March 7, 2017 when my 16 year old daughter was diagnosed with undifferentiated Leukemia, later on, on October 7 she received a bone marrow transplant which caused some complications, which was Graft versus host disease and organ damage, 6 months later she was put on the waiting list for double lung transplant. Finally October 1, 2018 we received the exciting news that they had lungs for her and surgery was that same night.

I can’t explain how hard it’s been to see her suffer and go through all this and I thank God that she’s been very strong and always has a positive attitude.

She’s now 18 years old and still at CHOP recovering from the lung transplant.

We’re hoping and praying that she can come home before Christmas.

We thank you from the bottom of our hearts, God Bless You!

With Love,
Michelle’s family
