Meet Connor
Introducing Connor–one of this year’s Ride for a Child Honored Children! Connor is fifteen years old and has one older sister, Tess. Connor has lots of hobbies that include PC gaming, digital art, cooking, baking, playing piano, and going on walks!
Connor's favorite genre of music would have to be Alt-Rock, he likes to listen to anything in that genre. His favorite book at the moment is Drums, Girls, and Dangerous Pie, by Jordan Sonnenblick, because he likes the genre and can relate to the story. Connor is also a fan of Star Wars and likes legos. If Connor was stranded on a deserted island, the one thing he would bring would be his iPad.
Connor was diagnosed with a brain tumor in 2022. So far, his favorite memory from Candlelighters has been going on boat rides on Lake Oswego at some of our events!
