If Shelby Sisco ever wonders how deeply her community supports her in her fight against cancer, all the 15-year-old has to do is look around: It’s written across their bodies. Literally.
Her step-father, Nick Christofano, held a tattoo fundraiser last weekend, inspiring dozens of people to get inked for a good cause. Christofano, 34, owns Unique Ink Tattoo in Greensburg, Pa., where about 50 people participated in “Tattooing for Shelby” to help Shelby’s family with costs associated with her fight against acute myeloid leukemia.
“It was just great to have people show up and support us and Shelby,” Christofano says, happy to report that his step-daughter is now in remission. “It was nice for Shelby to see people behind her. That was the big thing.”
