Ten years ago, Jackson Davis' life changed in an instant. On his way back from the Marine Corps Recruit Depot, a reckless driver caused an accident that brought him to CommonSpirit Health Penrose Hospital's ICU, breaking both his legs and almost losing one.

Despite the immense physical and emotional trauma and the voices that told him you can't, Jackson chose to respond with unwavering determination: "Okay, watch me." This philosophy guided him not only to relearn how to walk but also to compete in and complete challenging Spartan races.

Jackson's message to those facing a similar journey is to never lose hope.
