Conner’s Heroes Help Kids with Cancer

Conner is a classmate of my daughter. He has struggled with cancer for over 2.5 years. His family wants to make it easier for other kids who are diagnosed with cancer.
So, his parent’s, Steven and Lisa Goodwin, and his physician, Dr. Mary Michael Schweiker, are joining with the Mary Munford community to create bags and backpacks filled with art supplies and other goodies to newly-diagnosed patients, all part of a program called Conner’s Heroe’s.

On Saturday, January 26, 2008, starting at 10:00 am, over 30 volunteers will convene at the cafeteria at Mary Munford Elementary School to assemble approximately 80 Heroes Bags and 80 Heroes Backpacks, which will be given to every child diagnosed with cancer and treated at the Children’s Medical Center at VCU Health System in Richmond, Virginia. This program has been funded for one year by a grant from Ronald McDonald House Charities, who also have been invited to attend.

If you are able to come help with their mission, or can help volunteer your time, contact Lisa Goodwin, Conner’s mom at lisa@connorsheroes.org or
804-305-4280.

But that doesn’t mean he has put the ordeal behind him. He’s been helping his parents, Lisa and Steve, support other children fighting the disease. [...]
