The FC Cancer Foundation have shared a photo of M Shadows and cancer patient Lizzy who were brought together through the Make-A-Wish Foundation in May of 2011.
Lizzy’s wish was to meet Avenged Sevenfold and M Shadows flew up to meet her on a day off to make her wish come true. The two were introduced on May 12th and kept in touch via text until the news was delivered to him by her mother that just a few days after meeting him Lizzy had passed away.
On May 14th the band dedicated their performance of “So Far Away” to her. Lizzy, you are not forgotten.

Comment by April January 30, 2012 @ 11:46 amI hope Lizzy is in the comforting arms of Jimmy right now. So awesome of the guys to take the time to do this.I am sure meeting them made her transition a lot better.
Comment by Revenant January 30, 2012 @ 11:47 amI was at the concert the day they found out she passed away. I think this was the concert… but it was on the 14th. When he told that story, my heart sank, and I teared up. This song has so much meaning and heart to it. It can be dedicated to anyone, not just The Rev. They truly are amazing guys, and really do care about each and every one of their fans.

Comment by Ariel Wallis (@wariel2009) January 30, 2012 @ 1:14 pmThe following text is NOT ments as a joke. I am not trying to make fun, with this situation. It is the most terrible thing on earth, cancer, and I’ve lost some of my dearest friends, by the hand of cancer.
They are all in “A Little Piece of Heaven”
RIP Lizzy
RIP Jimmy
RIP Kim (One I’ve lost, by the hand of cancer)
RIP all other that have been the victims of cancer
If you weren’t so far away from us, everything would be better. The song that Avenged Sevenfold have chosen, is the perfect song, for this situation, and, as “Abigail Louise” wrote: “This song has so much meaning and heart to it. It can be dedicated to anyone, not just The Rev”. I completely agree with your statement.
I hope for the best, for all that are currently struggling against this terrible disease.
My deepest respect, for the families, that have lost sons and daughters, mothers and fathers and other members of their family, by the cause of cancer.
I fear for my mother, who’s a smoker, and have been smoking for over 40 years. I fear that cancer will get a grasp on her as well, but I wish for the best for her. She is still at her full best, but I fear the worst. I love you mom.
My deepest respect to the family of Lizzy
My deepest respect to Matt Shadows, for fulfilling her dearest wish.
Sincerly
