Pictured above is Connor (on the right) with his brother Darien (on the left).

When he was only a year old, Connor was diagnosed with a rare form of brain cancer. He had brain surgery and two rounds of chemo, and he spent several weeks in the hospital; but the cancer continues to grow and has spread to his spine also.  He's into his third round of chemo. The next step in his battle will most likely be radiation.  His parents hope to be able to take him to St. Jude's Hospital.

Connor has several limitations.  He has trouble walking sometimes and falls a lot.  He cannot run or climb like other little boys. 

Connor functions as a three year old, but  without the typical mobility and speech of a child that age.  His vocabulary is limited, due to oral function difficulties. He cannot dress himself, though he tries.

Connor is learning to count to three and knows some colors. He collects anything Mickey Mouse, likes playing with balloons and play-doh and loves music and singing.  His favorite show is America's Funniest Videos, and Connor loves to laugh.  He is fascinated with motorcycles.

Connor's dad served in Iraq, but he's home with his family now!
