Hi we are Nicholas Marriam and Shelby McKnew. A few years ago we started collecting items to make gift bags for kids with cancer and other life-threatening illnesses. We did this because when Nick was 6, he was one of those kids. He was diagnosed with T-Cell Lymphoma cancer. He was in the hospital a lot and had to grow up very fast and go through lots of scary things. He got Chemotherapy every week, spinal taps, shots, pills and was very sick! He was in the hospital so much he missed 2 years of school & was very lonely in there.
