Jonathan Davis was born at 27 weeks and weighed only 2 lbs, 11 oz. His diagnosis: Chronic Illnesses. Born premature, he suffered many complications, including an esophagus that was separated in two parts. He spent his first 102 days of life in Children's Memorial Hospital in Chicago connected to myriad life-saving equipment. Throughout his life, he was hospitalized so many times and had so many surgeries that his parents stopped counting the number of desperate midnight calls from doctors urging them to return to the hospital for fear that he might not survive the night.
Today, Jonathan is a sophomore at De LaSalle Institute, where he participates on the golf and swim teams. He has overcome the unthinkable but he couldn't have done it alone. He needed all of you, and he will be there to thank you personally on March 6th, 2010 when we stand together for 13.1 hours. We're dancing to save the lives of countless other children so, like Jonathan, they too can share their stories many from now.
