Miracle graduation marks hard won comeback at Kings Mountain High
David Ford, once near death after a heart stoppage at track practice in March 2015, graduates Kings Mountain High School. Born premature and with kidney issues, he faced a long recovery, relearning walking and talking, while doctors monitored brain function and implanted a pacemaker. He plans college at Cleveland Community and then universities, aiming for a marketing master’s degree. His mother recalls the life altering moment and Ford’s belief in purpose.
