On October 13th, 2010 Shane Franzone was a typical college freshman who had just finished his fall lacrosse season at Chestnut Hill College by scoring his first collegiate goal. On October 15th, Shane was admitted to The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia after doctors examined bruises on his torso that were failing to heal. After a vast array of tests he was diagnosed with aplastic anemia, a blood disease where bone marrow fails to produce adequate counts of red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets.

Shane has been hospitalized for the majority of the past 12 months and is still fighting for his life. In an effort to help support the Franzone family as they deal with Shane's continued illness, the Chestnut Hill College Men's Lacrosse team is organizing a wall ball event to raise funds for Franzone. Appropriately titled "Balls to the Wall," the team hopes to raise as much money as possible to assist with the mounting medical costs.

On December 10th 2011 the event will be held at Plymouth-Whitemarsh High School from 10am to 3pm. Sponsors include the HEADstrong Foundation, Maverick Lacrosse and Baggataway LC.

If you are interested in attending the event or donating to the cause, you can download information from the Facebook group or contact Adam Eddinger with Chestnut Hill Lacrosse at eddingera@chc.edu.
