Conor Rigan

The Rigan family has been on a long, arduous journey doing everything they can to battle Conor's recurring ependymoma. It has been relentless.

Since he was only six months old, Conor has endured SIX major surgeries at the UofM Children’s Hospital and Boston Children's Hospital to remove the cancerous tumors and cells on/near his brain and spine. Their most recent experience occurred just before his 5th birthday last May when Conor underwent two surgeries in Boston within days of one another.

Conor's additional medical care has included chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and immunotherapy drugs. Most recently, he has been on a Phase 1 trial of a targeted therapy. On top of the medical costs and frequent traveling (they've traveled to Cincinnati, Augusta, Boston, and Ann Arbor for Conor's medications and scans), Patrick and Sarah have also faced battles with health insurance. All while keeping everyday life as joyful as possible for Conor as well as his sisters, Tenley and Ella.

Please continue to shower them with support through prayers and financial aid as they continue the fight for their amazing son, Conor. He is such a strong and brave little warrior. We trust that God will provide another miracle and pray for Conor's body to be rid of this cancer for good!!
