Connor's CUREsaders of ND is inspired by our son, Connor George.  Our world was turned upside down when he was diagnosed with brain cancer at the age of 2 in October 2020.  He was torn away from his home and underwent multiple surgeries, hospital stays, 8 months of chemotherapy and a relapse in October 2021 followed by 6 weeks of proton therapy.  

Before Connor's diagnosis, we were naive to the hardships of childhood cancer.  Since then, we have vowed to be fighting advocates for childhood cancer awareness and will not stop until a cure is found.  The fear, sadness and life altering changes that come with a childhood cancer diagnosis should never have to be endured by a child or parent.  It is unacceptable and needs changed.

Connor is currently a happy, healthy, thriving boy.  His greatest joy is being at home with his 2 sisters, brother and mom and dad.  He has the biggest smile and an even bigger heart.  He deserves the world and it is our goal to see he gets it.

"Pediatric brain cancer can go by many names. A destroyer of childhood. A kidnapper of joy. A thief of life. There currently is no cure to stop this bully and funding for research is limited. Children deserve to grow up and enjoy life's milestones but cancer steals this opportunity. We as a family are driven to change this, to give all kids like Connor a chance at life. Please support our mission and help us end childhood cancer by donating today."  -The George Family
