About

One of our first YourStory projects- "Jay"- the story of Katie Couric's late-husband Jay Monahan who succumbed to Colon Cancer. It serves as a celebration of his life, a remembrance, and an educational tool for The Jay Monahan Center in NYC, a colon cancer research institute and treatment center that focuses not only on the illness but on the quality of life of the patient. This film documents the value of life even in the reality of such a terrible disease.
