TCH #117: Conor Allen on Heart Surgery & the Summer Olympics




The Conversation Hub show

Summary: Conor Allen, our guest this week, is a pretty amazing young man! Conor has already endured more challenges than most of us will deal with in a lifetime. At young age of 15, he's already had 13 surgeries, 7 of which were open heart surgeries. None of these seem to slow him down.  Like most teenagers, Conor is active and always on the go! Conor's approach to life, his positive outlook and his infectious smile are an inspiration. He has a big heart as noted by a comment his mother Amy shared with me - "the preliminary list of wishes included lots of things for other people." It was such an honor to be in conversation with him. You can learn more about Conor by reading an article published in the Echo Press - the local paper that serves his community. The Minnesota NBC affiliate - KARE-TV - also ran a story on Conor and one other Minnesota Make-A-Wish Foundation recipient.  You can view the video here!  The Conversation Hub is produced by BassClef Productions.Content © 2012 BassClef Productions/Marc Vaillancourt
