CONNOR’S US CONNECTION

Robert  ‘Connor’ Dawes was born in Wisconsin in 1994.  A child of two countries, Connor spent most of his life living in Australia and loving America.

Connor was determined to study and row in the US for either Wisconsin or Stanford Universities, until brain cancer robbed him of the chance.

For 16 months Connor’s brilliant mind and strong body gave its all to fight this terrible disease, but on April 20, 2013 Connor lost his battle. A matter of days later, the Robert Connor Dawes Foundation was born. Since then the Dawes family have been on a mission to ensure no family has to endure what theirs did.

US MUSIC MATTERS GRANTS

We are excited to be piloting our successful Australian music matters program in the US state of Wisconsin.

We are seeking referrals for five young people with a brain tumor diagnosis to receive in home music therapy.
