Latin’s not for everyone, but it was for Connor. A brilliant student, he thrived and loved Latin. After his diagnosis in 2011, his Latin class coined the phrase Aeternum Fortis, meaning ‘eternal strength’. The phrase reflected Connor's inspiring spirit as he battled through every adversity coming his way.

At school, his friends sold t-shirts and wristbands with Connor’s name and Aeternum Fortis to raise money for his treatment. Now, Aeternum Fortis features on the back of every Connor’s Run t-shirt and is our eternal reminder of the amazing person he was and the gifts he left us.
