New York Having trained for months, Shelby recently completed the Avon Breast Cancer walk on October 4 & 5 to raise funds to dramatically impact the lives of medically under-insured women and men to receive the screening, support, and treatment they require. Shelby single-handedly has already raised over $2,200.
Her passion for helping others extends to other causes as well. Shelby has completed two Relays for Life and for the past three years has participated in a local Challenger Division Baseball League, which enables boys and girls with physical and mental handicaps to play baseball.
It is not everyday that a senior in high school can juggle school, train for a 40-mile walk, maintain a great GPA, and be so passionate about and dedicated to so many causes. That is why Shelby Simone is truly a Hometown Hero.
