Shannon's blog

At 14, Shannon is like most teens: She’s interested in bands like the Jonas Brothers, playing video games and hanging out with her best friend. Shannon also lives with a chronic disease called pulmonary hypertension, which affects her heart and lungs. While she can’t do some things, don’t think that stops her from doing all of the things she loves, like mastering karate, starring in a school play or riding her scooter around her neighborhood.

Help spread the word about Shannon’s new blog on Children’s Hospital Boston’s Web site, where you can read and watch video clips about what it’s like to live with a chronic disease. childrenshospital.org/ShannonsBlog
