Let’s introduce you to Donovan; an amazing 14 year old boy who is battling Lafora disease. Lafora disease, also known as “Lafora Progressive Myoclonic Epilepsy” (MELF) is a fatal recessive genetic disorder. In layman’s terms… Lafora disease is a severe, and extremely rare form of epilepsy.
Here is a photo of Donovan and the big man #33; on the court after the PC Friars won the 2014 Tournament at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
