DESIGNATED HITTER: SHELBY

When Shelby, a registered nurse from Maine, was diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer, she knew Dana-Farber was the place for treatment. “I never felt like a number. I always felt supported and cared about. Dana-Farber saved my life.”

Support also came from her family, hospital colleagues, and her “softball girls.” Five years ago, after years of providing advice, pep talks, snacks, and hugs to her daughter’s travel softball team, Shelby officially signed on as the “team mom.” She describes the time period from March to the end of August as, “softball fever,” bonding with the players on the field, while traveling, and at team barbeques and swim parties. When not occupied with the softball team, Shelby enjoys taking road trips to Fenway Park with her husband and two daughters to cheer on the Boston Red Sox.

You can help strike out cancer for patients like Shelby by joining Jimmy Fund Little League or making a donation today.
