My name is Shannon Grenham and I am 5 years old. I live with my mom Rosemary and my dad Thomas in Marshfield, Massachusetts. My birthday is February 25th and I love to play with my dolls, draw pictures and write stories. I also love to go swimming, and practice dancing and karate. I go to Daniel Webster Preschool in Marshfield, and when I grow up I want to be a veterinarian or a baseball player. Maybe I’ll be both!

In February of 2006, I was diagnosed with acute lymphocytic leukemia. My doctor is Dr. Silverman and he works at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute where I get my treatments.
