Holidays can be a beautiful time, but for many, they can also feel heavy, lonely, and overwhelming. 🩵💜

At The ConnerStrong Foundation, we recognize that not everyone experiences holidays the same way. And that’s why community matters more than ever. By showing up for one another, offering kindness, and creating space for support, we can help lighten the weight someone else may be carrying.

Together, we can build a stronger, more compassionate community, one that lifts each other up, encourages growth, and reminds everyone that they are not alone.

Together, we are stronger. 💫

We’re still reeling in the joy from this weekend’s *You Are Not Alone 5K* 🩵💜

From the first step to the final cheers, every moment was filled with connection, strength, and the reminder that none of us have to walk this journey alone. Seeing our community come together lifting each other up, sharing smiles, and showing up with so much love was something truly special.

Whether you ran, walked, volunteered, or simply showed your support, you were part of something bigger. And we’re carrying that energy with us long after the finish line.

Here’s to more moments like this. Here’s to community. Here’s to always reminding each other: you are not alone.

Our Story

On October 1, 2016, our family’s faith was shaken and our world turned upside down when we received news that our son Conner had died by su***de. If you’ve never lost a loved one to su***de, you cannot imagine the pain and the intensity of the emotional roller coaster that comes with it. It’s crippling…it’s agonizing…it’s terrifying…it’s the worst possible thing that one could ever go through.

Conner was 17 years old. He was insanely handsome, was a fantastic athlete, and a good student. Conner was a son, a brother, a grandson, a nephew, a cousin and a friend. Conner was sweet, generous, loving, kind, smart (and smart-assed!), witty and hilarious. Conner was a piece of the puzzle that makes up our great big family, and without his piece we are no longer whole. It’s true, the rest of us are strong and are holding our pieces together so firmly as not to fall apart, but we were much stronger when his piece was in place.

Since that moment, our extensive family, friends, community and even those we have never met, came to us. They offered love, support, words of comfort and an assurance we were not alone.
