Shay was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at 5 months old in 1982. Originally from Sumter, SC, he currently lives in the Charleston area close to the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC), the facility that has cared for his CF since diagnosis. He holds a master's degree in Health Administration from MUSC and currently works for a national managed care organization. Writing has been a hobby since childhood, but Shay only recently began blogging about CF. He and his wife, Stacy, have 2 dachshunds and enjoy traveling. He also cofounded the surfing-related CF nonprofit, The 3rd Street Society, in 2017 with his best friend, who is an avid surfer. Follow Shay on Instagram @cf_icare.
