Cory-Rawson Student Undergoing Treatment for Brain Tumor Gets Video Messages of Support

Some big names in sports sent video messages of support for a 16 year old Cory-Rawson student who has undergone two brain surgeries this month.

Connor Sons was diagnosed with a rare brain tumor in late December. 

While the tumor is benign, it had to be removed or it could cause blindness and other major issues. 

The first surgery at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus took place on January 3rd, but after 3 hours, doctors realized they were unable to remove any of the tumor without causing catastrophic damage to his vision.

Doctors decided to go another route, and 5 days later, they went through his nose and this time were able to get up to 90% of the tumor.

The rest will need to be removed by radiation, and that will take place 5 days a week for 6 weeks. 

Word of Connor’s journey made it to social media when the family posted asking for prayers and videos of support.

To their surprise, some big names responded.

Videos were received from:

Dick LeBeau 

Brett Favre

Jim Tressel

Urban Meyer

Eddie George 

Marvin Harrison, Jr. 

TreVeyon Henderson 

JD Bergman

Kurt Angle

Kyle Snyder

Bobby Carpenter 

Emeka Egbuka 

Chris Speilman 

Aaron Craft

The whole University of Findlay football team 

Heidelberg University football players 

And the list goes on.

The responses helped put a smile on Connor’s face, and the family appreciates the continued support.
