Connor's world was turned upside down when a simple preparation for a date ended in a catastrophic explosion, leaving him with severe burns over 90% of his body. Rushed to the hospital with only a 1% chance of survival, Connor's resilience was put to the ultimate test.
Placed in a medically induced coma for three months to aid in the treatment of his extensive third-degree burns, Connor emerged to a reality he could scarcely comprehend.

Setting ambitious goals, including returning to school and sports, Connor embarked on a journey of physical and emotional healing.
