Olympic Gold Medalist Shawn Johnson Raises Breast Cancer Awareness

shawn1008.jpg

Shawn Johnson, Olympic gold medal gymnast, joined us today to talk about her involvement with the Frosted Pink With A Twist Campaign, sponsored by Sanofi-Aventis. Her involvement with Frosted Pink With A Twist was inspired by her grandmother, who had both breast and lung cancer.

This 16-year-old Iowa native stands at 4'10" and won four medals in the Beijing Olympic Games: a team silver medal, an all-around silver medal, a floor individual silver medal and a balance beam gold medal.
