In memory of Riley and Johnny, Jacksonville Elementary School has opened its doors to sponsor a blood drive to benefit others in need. Please join us to honor Riley Davis and Johnny Rozema by donating blood and giving the gift of life!
Jacksonville fourth-grader Riley Davis was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia in February 2008. Riley, nicknamed “Sunny D” for his happy, upbeat personality, spent the next four years in and out of the hospital. He would watch Ellen and Jimmy Fallon for a laughduring his hospital stays. Riley, who loved football, Xbox, drawing and collecting old comic books, was able to return to Jacksonville for fifth grade before his leukemia returned. After undergoing many procedures and two bone marrow transplants, he passedaway at Johns Hopkins Hospital on Dec. 28, 2011. Riley received countless amounts of blood and platelets. The Davis Family resides in the Hereford Zone and Riley's sibling attends Hereford High.
Johnny Rozema was an active 9-year-old when he was diagnosed with Burkitts Lymphoma in 2007. He loved video games, camping, swimming, watching Sponge Bob Square Pants and the Baltimore Ravens.Johnny's dry sense of humor and quick wit brought smiles to many faces. The Jacksonville Elementary School fourth-grader spent nine courageous months fighting the disease, but lost his battle on Dec. 18, 2007. During his hospitalization at Johns Hopkins Hospital, Johnny received numerous blood transfusions and platelets. The Rozema Family resides in the Dulaney District and Johnny's siblings attend Jacksonville Elementary & Dulaney High.
