Episodes Notes

Diagnosed with VATER/VACTERL Syndrome, a rare combination of several birth defects, JT Jester’s life was anything but easy.

By the time JT was three years old, he had spent 250 days in the hospital. He endured sixteen major surgeries before he was sixteen.

On top of his physical challenges, he suffered dyslexia and short-term memory loss, which made learning nearly impossible for him.

JT pushed past his physical and educational roadblocks to achieve what many people told him he would never do.

Today on Connections he shares his story with us. He'll also explain how he has no bad days.
