Welcome to my CaringBridge Website. My name is Shannon Gough. I was born June 27, 2000 and I have Fanconi Anemia. Fanconi Anemia is an inherited blood disorder that leads to bone marrow failure. Though considered primarily a blood disease, it may affect all systems of the body. I will eventually need a bone marrow transplant. This is my journey with the disease.

Hi:

Things have been busy the last month. For those of you who don't know, Shannon made a speech for the Make a Wish Foundation. She was asked to share her speech and a bit about Fanconi Anemia to at a Golf Tournament benefiting the Make a Wish Foundation. When I agreed to do it, I thought for sure that she would back out and refuse to speak at the last minute. However, I was impressed. Shannon got up to the microphone and read her speech to the approximately 50 people there. She won them over. I was quite proud and have added pictures of the event.

Shannon had a MRI last Tuesday and our early Christmas present is that it is all normal.

Otherwise, we are all pleased to be out of school and ready for Christmas. The kids are all starting to get very excited for Santa Claus on Christmas Morning. Even the twins are looking forward to it. Although getting a piece of chocolate or two every day as we open Advent calendars has been a lot of fun as well.

We are all looking forward to a wonderful Christmas. To our friends that we won't see, we hope that you all have a wonderful holiday season as well.

Jennifer
