Community turns out for boy in hospice's 10th birthday 
Cecil Whig, Cambridge, MD; 8/23/24 
On Aug. 19, Jeremiah Shaw had a 10th birthday bash for the ages. The town of Cambridge turned out in droves to make sure this boy felt appreciated with a parade down Foxtail Drive. There were bikers, school buses, fire trucks and tractor trailers. The whole point was to ride by and put a smile on Shaw’s face. Shaw has struggled with Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome, a neurodegenerative disease that causes him to have seizures. His mother, Maschell Hines, said he has been recently put in to hospice care and that this could be his last fall season.
