While receiving unsurpassed treatment from the dedicated teams at Duke University Medical Center and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Billy never lost his passion and spirit for life. Throughout his diagnosis and treatment, that included bi-weekly cross-state journeys for a clinical trial, he continued to attend school at Albany Academy where he excelled in both sports and academics.</div> <bR> <div> The Billy Grey Chair of Research exists to find a cure because the Grey family knows that Billy would want his struggles to have a positive impact on others. Billy’s research award is strengthened by the spirit and character in which he lived his life and enriched the lives of those around him.</div> <bR> <div> Eric C.
