Description

In 2013, when AJ Carey (’17) was a 17-year-old senior at Crest High School (Shelby, N.C.), he was diagnosed with cancer. The devastating discovery of a malignant tumor sent him into surgery and through weeks of follow-up chemo and radiation therapy. He felt the walls closing in. So, after his treatments, he found respite playing disc golf with his friends.
