A lot of Brawl For A Cause fighters are supporting a cause for a friend or family member. But Jonathan Kolowich is living his cause. When he was 13 years old, Jonathan started rapidly losing weight and experiencing extreme exhaustion. A natural athlete, this was quite unusual for him. His mom took him to the doctor, where they learned that Jonathan's blood sugar was at 1000. It should have been at 100. He was diagnosed with Type I diabetes. But that hasn't stopped Jonathan one bit.
