A new year for ConnorA year ago, Connor Egan was undergoing chemotherapy treatments for bone cancer and spending numerous nights at Children’s Memorial Hospital. Today he is a healthy 9-year-old who recently contributed a colorful drawing for the mosaic mural planned for Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago, opening on June 9. You can help kids like Connor and add your name to the mural by making a Give Kids a Hand gift. |
