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.”

that is so sweet of what zac did and its so sad at the same time. I’m glad the boy got his dream and now he is heaven. R.I.P. Connor. Zac your so sweet and I hope your doing good in Utah right now.

Hi Steph - yes, Zac’s the greatest! Gotta run off to work now, girlie! Check ya later!

Hey, Steph!! Yeah, he is. What’s up, angel???

Go Sox, Not much, stuck at work :( … but that’s allright. Hey, what’s up w/you? When’s the weddin’????

Kgg, Have fun at work, see ya at the Bellfry :)

Deepest sympathy to the Conner family in the loss of their son. Zac Efron is a class act who was able to make that one day a happy one for a dying child. Now these are the kind of stories we all love to read about young actors.

I fell silent after reading this. It is always so tragic to hear about young children passing from such an awful disease. But I hope he has found his peace now. Although they most likely would never read this, I wish his family the best of luck and my uttermost genuine condolences. His mother sounds very brave. I don’t know what I’d do if I lost my child like this.

thanks for the article thats of zac
