Story
Conor was a healthy 11 month-old baby when he lost his life to a Strep A infection during Chicken Pox in 2000. It took just 48 hours to kill him.
Conor's Fund was created to try and prevent such tragedies by raising awareness of serious Strep A infections - their causes, symptoms and possible outcomes - whilst raising funds to support research into their prevention, diagnosis and cure.
That support is needed more than ever now, as most research teams had to pause their activities to work on the front line during the pandemic. Strep A hasn't gone away though, in fact cases are on the rise with a recent spike in child fatalities being reported over the winter. (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-63836093)
Please help us raise badly needed funds to support research into this potentially deadly disease. If together we can save one life, it will have been worth it.
