Zeph Boand, 15, sings a song for Sarah Jones, 12, during her prom at the University Plaza Convention Center in Springfield, Mo. Sarah has struggled with health problems all her life including severe scoliosis, a curvature of the spine; arthritis, dislocated hips, muscle spasticity, numerous surgeries, and three months ago they discovered she has a chronic lung disorder. Years ago, Zeph Boand promised Sarah Jones he'd dance with her at prom. On a recent Friday, he traveled eight hours for that dance.
