Without speaking a word, 19-year-old Phoenix-native Isaiah Acosta is sharing his story of triumph through music.
Mr. Acosta has been a fighter since the minute he entered this world when he was born without a jaw — and unable to access oxygen for 15 minutes after his delivery.
However, nearly 20 years later, he’s not only surviving but he’s thriving.
On Sunday, Sept. 22, the Scottsdale Fire Fighters Association hosted its 19th Annual Behind the Flames Scottsdale Firefighter Charities Dinner, where Mr. Acosta joined Hall of Fame Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Randy Johnson and Olympic gold medalist Misty Hyman as headliners of the event.
The three were bestowed the C.A.R.E. Award for contributing to achievement and redefining excellence
