Zac Efron Meets Young Cancer Patient

Zac Efron Meets Young Cancer Patient

High School Musical fan Connor Steventon meets star Zac Efron as a special surprise for his birthday on March 1.

Sadly, Connor, 13, died on March 19 after a two-year battle with cancer. His memory will live on with plans to form a charity in his name.

Connor’s mom Tracy Mason shared a little about how Connor got to meet Zac: “About six weeks before his birthday I thought, ‘He is going to be 13, what can I do that’s really special?’ He had everything, didn’t want or need anything and was mad about High School Musical. When I saw on iomtoday (Isle of Man Today) that Zac was coming over I thought we have got to make that happen somehow. Before his birthday he had started to go downhill, sleeping a lot, and I thought we would have a High School Musical party and asked Zac to come and surprise him. [When Zac agreed to come,] Connor’s little eyes nearly fell out of his head.”

I am happy that the little boy was able to meet somebody he cared so much about. I am sadden by what happened in the end though. Zac is such a wonderful and caring guy who really loves his fans.

JJ thank you for posting this (these are the stories I want to hear about not that Zac got gas or Zac went out to eat with Vanessa)

Aww R.I.P Connor =[
Zac is so sweet!

Zac I really hope you can sometime read this: this kind of things from you makes me love you more, and for a little second I think I know your way boy… Such a lovely man are you honey! Thanks. You not only are so down to earth in every little thing I see from you, you are a sweet and thankfull man who can give back somethings he has received in ways like this… simply, quiet… so nice from you…
My thoughts and prayers are with Connor and his family too, they have to know their child couldn’t be happier in that special birthday…
Thanks again Efron… you are… divine!
