Shayne was diagnosed with T-cell Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia in May 2005 when he was just 18 months old. He endured 42 months of chemotherapy, multiple blood transfusions and several surgeries before achieving remission. Today, Shayne is 10 years old, in the fourth grade and a honor roll student. He is doing great and remains in remission. Shayne loves school and plays basketball and baseball. He also participates in track and field, where he throws both the shot put and javelin.
