As many of you already know, this past Saturday night, family friends organized a benefit for Dana (Greenlight 4 Dana). For those of you who were unable to attend, we provide you with a brief summary. The night consisted of hundreds of people participating in good food, friends, basket raffles, 50/50 drawings, and a special surprise. Dana was brought in by live feed via the webcam from The Shepherd Center. He was able to spend a few minutes talking to the crowd. Needless to say, it was an emotional time at the Wings of Eagles...there was not a dry eye in the place!
To everyone who helped make this night a success, we owe you many, many thanks! We also want to recognize all of those who supported us, but were unable to attend.
The road traveled following the accident has been a difficult one, made easier by the constant love and support we have been provided. We couldn't have done it without all of you. From the bottom of our hearts, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! We are forever grateful and will never forget Jan 5th 2008!

The benefit was fantastic, what a tribute to you all. Dana it was "great" to see you, and I was truly amazed at how good you looked. I am sure that you will continue to progress as you move to an outpatient setting and with your strength, determination and support we will all be amazed at your progress. Reggie Cavanaugh
Hi Dana...I don't exactly know where to begin, so I guess I will start by telling you how I know of you. My college room mate was Shayne Lavoie. I think of him often and googled his name the other day. In doing so I came across your blog. I keep in touch with his girlfriend and have always wondered how the other people in the accident were. I didn't know how to ask her and was uncomfortable asking because of the pain she is going through. I lost an amazing friend that day. He was like a brother, always looking out for and taking care of his friends.
I am a nurse and am in amazement of the strides you have made in your recovery. You are an amazing person and I wish the best for you.
Take this comment as you may but know that Shayne's friends think about you even though they don't know you. A day doesn't go by that I don't think of him.
Take care and I will keep you in my thoughts.
