Maybe you’re reading this message and have never lost a loved one to cancer,

Or maybe you know the feeling of waiting for your prayers to be answered.

So whether you’ve sat in that seat as a doctor told you “the news”

I’m sure every one of us can imagine the fear we’d feel in those shoes.

So although my Grandmother, Claire, didn’t survive her fight,

I’m doing this Campaign so that others might.

My grandmother Claire and I share the same last name: “Shell”,

We are also both “C. Shell”, if you couldn’t tell.

So, in honoring the name my Grandmother shared,

I want you to consider the story of a Starfish and a boy that cared.

An old man wandering on the beach came across a little boy throwing beached starfish back into the sea,

The old man asked the little boy “What are you doing, what could the purpose of this be?”

The little boy replied, “The starfish need oxygen or they’ll die here on the shore!”

But the man said, “You can’t possibly save them all, there are thousands more!”

The boy paused; bent down again, picked another up because he surely wasn’t done,

Then will a smile on his face, flung the starfish back into the ocean saying, “I mattered to that one.”
