BEREA, Ohio -- Jason McCourty and his twin brother Devin (of the New England Patriots) have seen firsthand the effects of sickle cell disease.
“My aunt and my uncle both suffer from the disease,” McCourty said this week as the Browns prepare to face the Lions on Sunday in Detroit. “My father suffered from the trait.”
So the McCourtys have dedicated themselves to doing something about it. Monday, McCourty will present a comedy night fundraiser at the Cleveland Improv.
