At only 3-years-old, Ada has endured more than most people do in a lifetime. She had surgeries to biopsy her brain tumor and put in her port, chemotherapy infusions for a year, and now manages oral chemo at home three times a day.
Adorable Ada rattles off words like “port,” “chemo,” and “brain tumor,” as naturally as she sings her favorite Lainey Wilson song.
A bright spot for Ada are the Connor’s Heroes Heroes Art Sessions. They are a distraction from the harsh reality of cancer. Mom talks with parents as Ada cheerfully paints a picture. Life feels “normal” again.
When you see Ada running around, you would never guess she is battling a tumor that may never disappear. She’ll be on this journey for the foreseeable future. But here she is: fearless and full of life. Her radiant personality captivates you. Her resilience inspires you.
“Knowing that Connor’s Heroes cares about our family — during the good times and hard times — gives us a sense of safety.” — ADA’S FAMILY
