Sarah Jones dances with, from left, her mom, Sandra Fuller, grandma, Darlene Moffitt, and great grandma, Evelyn Little, 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.
