??"My cousin Shay endured many surgeries before he passed away which crippled him sometimes to the point where he was unable to walk," stated Jason David, founder and president of JDCF. “My cousin never gave up he fought through all of his surgeries and struggles with the same resolve each time. It is important to me that I continue his fight for the sake of others who suffer from the disease.”
