CLIFTON PARK - JP Honsinger is graduating from Shen.
Many families mark high school graduations, but this one is especially significant.
"He loved school," said Jay Honsinger, JP's father "School was good to him. It was a great experience. We really didn't think he would make it to 18. We're doing experimental treatment at Albany Med."
JP has Niemann-Pick Disease, a rare degenerative disorder, like a childhood Alzheimer's.
His giant graduation party is an open house for eight hours, and a steady stream of friends stopped by.
He also loves sports & was made an honorary member of UAlbany basketball. Former UAlbany player Joe Cremo stopped by to congratulate JP. pic.twitter.com/49wnoWvyhf Kumi (@KumiTuckerWNYT) June 23, 2021
