Connor's nomination story

2 years ago I was in a horrific accident in which I was set on fire. I spent 11 months and 2 weeks in a hospital. I was never expected to survive my injuries as I was burnt to 90% of my body 3rd and 4th degree burns. I was only left with my scalp and buttock unburnt and underwent 100 medical procedures including skin grafts using only this skin. I suffered numerous complications and life threatening conditions related to the burns. I now front a fire safety campaign in schools and colleges throughout the region trying to prevent such a horrendous accident happening to any other kid and showing them the consequences of messing with fire. You can see the full details of my accident recovery and campaign my googling me.My passion is to prevent the horrific ordeal my family has been through happening to another family and to carry on my campaign
