MARSHFIELD, MASS. (WHDH) - Cops for Kids with Cancer is raising awareness about pediatric cancer by honoring someone special, a young boy from Marshfield with a brain tumor.
Five-year-old Danny Sheehan is not shy about his battle with cancer.
“I’m Danny Sheehan and I have a tumor in my head, and I’m getting rid of it,” the young boy said.
On Saturday, Sheehan spent time with Marshfield police testing equipment and receiving many high-fives.
The special day for Danny comes courtesy of Cops for Kids with Cancer, an organization that gives families of pediatric cancer patients a helping hand.
“It could not mean more to us that Danny is being recognized during this month for his battle against Pineoblastoma, a rare cancer,” Natalie Sheehan, Danny’s mother, said.
“He’s over the moon, for sure,” Dan Sheehan, Danny’s father, added.
This day of helping a local family comes just in time, as September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.
