“HI!! My name is Connor, I am 24 and although born with cerebral palsy it hasn’t stopped me from doing what I love to do. I love to paint, snow ski, run marathons and sky dive. Yes, I said sky dive!!!! My goal is to bring awareness to the world about all types of disabilities. I want people to know that disabled people want & deserve to be treated just like you.
When I was brought home to my family as a baby, my parents were told I would never function and that my life would revolve around acute fulltime care due to my Cerebral Palsy. CAT scans showed that a major portion of my brain was missing. Six months after a 2nd scan was taken…and the miracle stands at my brain showing as completely whole. In the years following, I became an avid skier, using a modified device that would allow me to not just ski, but to show off a little. Photos exist of me in full flight over jumps on snowy mountainsides. But it’s not just my ability to adapt and excell that makes this young man unique…everything I has, I works for. My parents have taught me the valuable lesson of acheiving through perserverence and effort.
I have taken on the craft of painting…primarily landscapes and the occasional portrait of the legend Bob Marley. I’ve created an organization – MyLOW (My Life On Wheels) – that creates funding for disabled kids, teenagers and adults to attend ski schools in the region. This is solely funded by the income generated by sales of my artwork… I also looks forward to the day when he can reach out to the masses and talk to hundreds of people at assemblies and school gatherings.
Simply put, next time you think that your day is difficult, remind yourself that people such as Me exist and they prove to us all that through dedication, a caring and selfless spirit, encouragement and love, that we can do ALL things we set our minds to.
