Meet Davis...
Davis was a super active 8th grader who loved to be outdoors, boating, hiking, hanging out with friends and family and playing baseball and football.
Last March Davis contracted a very rare virus, which resulted in Aplastic Anemia. He can no longer do any of the things a 14 year old boy regularly does. Things a 14 year old boy should be doing!
Please read all about Davis here to see what he has been through in the last 6 months. So much more then any Jr. High kid should have to go through!
What really drew me to this story is how strong and positive Davis is. And his communities support is amazing. These are some neighbor hood kids that sold lemonade and brownies, giving all the money they made to Davis and his family.
This picture kills me!
There are so many fundraisers going on that you can participate in!
The Utah Blaze is putting on a football camp for boys age 8-15, there is a dance for teenagers and a blood drive, car show, live entertainment (including Cameron Rafati!!) and hot air balloon rides!
Please go check out Distance for Davis and help this sweet family! If you don't live in Utah but would still love to help, you can make donations through his website. Feel free to post about Davis to help get the word out. Davis and his family need our help. If you'd like to participate in a fundraiser, please check those out soon as most of them are happening this week! Thank you so much!
