Jessica Gregory of District Heights, MD can often be found spontaneously breaking into dance even when there is no music playing. This bubbly, energetic girl had a rocky start to life, but you would never know it. Before Jessica was born she was diagnosed with spina bifida, a neural tube defect in which the spinal cord does not develop properly. Doctors at Children’s National Medical Center explained to her parents that she would have difficulty walking and learning.
