- ABOUT DAVID HYSONG -
David is the Founder and CEO at SHEPHERD. He is an ardent champion of patient rights and a defiantly human approach to healthcare. He founded SHEPHERD with vision and a mandate- to build something that would give freedom, power, and a defiant hope back to patients when they had had none, and give them options when they had nowhere left to turn. David was diagnosed at 27 with a rare form of head and neck cancer, Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma, while a graduate student at Harvard University. He had recently completed officer selection for special operations in the U.S. military and had previously worked in Southeast Asia against human trafficking and the sexual enslavement of children. He leveraged the same commitment to working for systemic change and to help those who suffer to build SHEPHERD alongside are markable team of people equally passionate about saving patients lives. David is a Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree, Aspen Institute Spotlight Health Scholar, and Charles River Research Models in Drug Discovery Award Recipient. He is a graduate of Harvard University, St. John’s College, and Transylvania University and is also the founder of The Billion Life Project, which seeks to create market-driven solutions to humanity’s greatest suffering; and Rage to LIVE, which seeks to inspire others to overcome their own limitations to do the impossible - on behalf of others.

Stage IV rectal cancer here. Very broke, living, if you can call it that, on social security. I went to the Family Reach foundation mentioned and it looks like there's no money. Every single fund says "unavailable." Sigh.
