I first became familiar with Jason’s story when helping my hubby pack up his apartment to move into our house after the wedding. I found a t-shirt that said “Jason’s Super Heart” and I was quickly curious.

The details of Jason’s story simply blow my mind. Tune in to hear the remarkable story from Jason himself. www.StoriesWithShelby.com
