“There was many more memories made with Connor and with several of my teammates along the way too. A few visits to the Ronald McDonald House Charities Newfoundland and Labrador in between, but they were always enjoyable. A chance to catch up and forget about everything going on during treatments. I will cherish those moments forever.” – Todd Skirving
