Our Story

In 2011, Shane Burcaw, a young man from Bethlehem, PA, began sharing his life experiences through a blog that resonated with many. What started as a personal narrative transformed into a movement, leading to the creation of Laughing At My Nightmare. With the help of his cousin Sarah, the organization aims to spread laughter and provide essential support to individuals living with disabilities, particularly muscular dystrophy. Shane's journey continued with the co-founding of the YouTube channel Squirmy and Grubs, where he and his wife, Hannah Aylward, showcase their heartwarming relationship and the unique challenges they face together.

Impact

Laughing At My Nightmare has made a significant difference by distributing over $1,000,000 in adaptive equipment and awarding more than $70,000 in scholarships to students with muscular dystrophy.
