In the latest episode of Monday Night Raw, WWE displayed the signs for ‘Connor’s Cure’ briefly on the screen as a part of Pediatric Cancer Awareness month. For those of you still foggy about what this was, here’s a simple explanation.
Back in April 2014, Paul Levesque (Triple H) and Stephanie McMahon met Connor Michalek, a WWE fan who was battling cancer at the mere age of 8.
Connor had Medulloblastoma which is a rare tumor that affects the spinal cord and brain. The boy grew close to Levesque and Stephanie as well as other visiting WWE Superstars.
The two of them were impacted by hearing the news that Connor lost the battle to his condition the same month. To honor his memory, they started Connon’s Cure as a fund at the Children’s Hospital in Pittsburgh.
Its purpose is to aid top cancer research facilities as well as help families deal with the treatment part of their child’s condition. Connor’s Cure has successfully managed to raise almost $3 million and assisted more than 500 families around the world.
Connor’s Cure has significantly grown and unites children suffering from similar conditions. Together, they defeat cancer and help others do the same. It’s heartwarming to see how they all remain so optimistic even in such grim states.
WWE has helped thousands of people around the world
Paul Levesque and Stephanie McMahon have certainly done a good deed here by making Connor’s wish come true for other kids. In his memory, hundreds of children unite to support the cause.
Connor’s Cure has stayed true to its aim of spreading awareness on the issue as well as raising funds for the research on Cancer.
WWE has started a lot of programs like this to help the community. After its tremendous success, the company has given back to the community in recent years.
John Cena and other WWE Superstars are also donators to the Make-a-Wish Foundation that grants the wishes of many kids around the world.
You can also join this noble effort by WWE by donating to Connor’s Cure. No matter how much the amount, you’re contribution will surely change lives.
