Huntington, NY- Town Councilman Mark Cuthbertson and fellow Board Members recently presented a proclamation to 8-year old Sarah Connor who just like her dad, has turned to the pedals of her own bicycle to help the American Cancer Society find the cure.

You have probably heard of the saying "Like Father, Like Daughter" which is exactly why Gene Connor couldn't be more proud of his 8-year old daughter Sarah. This past June, Sarah joined the ranks of her dad's Connor's Army campaign, which was started when three of Sarah's aunts were diagnosed with cancer in a two-year period and thus the Connor's Army was called into action.

Sarah has pledged to ride her bicycle 50 miles and to raise $500 by year's end. This might seem a small feat when compared to her dad's 12-month cycling goal of 2000 miles and $10,000 donation commitment (which started on January First of this year). But Sarah's determination to raise as much money as she can for cancer research is equally as impressive. Over the summer Sarah was selling lemonade to contribute to the cause, but shortly thereafter her dad removed the training wheels from her bicycle and the rest is history.

So far Sarah has pedaled her bicycle 22 miles and when Councilman Cuthbertson inquired how much money she has currently raised, her mom "Amy" answered $322.00 to which the Councilman replied that she could add an additional hundred dollars to the total on his behalf. Both Sarah and her dad are proof that you are never too young or old to be able to make a significant difference in the world.
