Reason to Smile

Recovering from spinal cord injuries together has strengthened Caryn and Caetlyn's mother-daughter bond.

Frosty, Shannon's service dog, keeps Shannon safe when she's walking in public. Frosty makes sure no one bumps into Shannon, which could harm Shannon's bones. For longer distances, Shannon uses a wheelchair, with Frosty curled up in her lap or at her feet. In this picture, Shannon is sitting in her wheelchair, with Frosty sitting by her feet.

Highly Determined

At Kennedy Krieger, Shannon gets the treatment she needs to stay healthy, and a chance to learn more about the medical field.
