Just wanted to also add our thanks to everyone involved in the creation of this event. The organisation on the day was outstanding. Given that this was created in less than two weeks by a handful of people was a true credit to the skills and determination of those involved. The Marshalls worked as though they had been employed together for years doing car shows for a living. The amount of people who turned up to show their support was staggering and the range of cars was great!
Absolutely fantastic. Connor is a great little guy, I met his dad briefly who looked understandably overwhelmed at the scale and reason of the show. A father in the truest sense of the word.
An amazing day and the beaming smiles from Connor would suggest that the purpose of the event was fulfilled - one happy chappy!
Jim - one of our club members - received the trophy for having Connors favourite car of the show (the black Audi R8) and felt moved and privileged to have been picked.
Zippy, our thoughts and hopes are with you, Connor and your family. We all wish you the very best and hope that the show gave Connor the smiles and happiness that he deserves.

From me...
I just wanted to say what a brilliant day this turned out to be, I set off at 7 in the morning from London with a sense of trepidation that like countless others from all over the land, I was on a journey that was to bring together the many disparate groups of the community, like a family coming together for one cause, to show support to one of our own.
This camaraderie, that people have selflessly shown, has left me feeling proud and humbled to be part of, and more than that, has shown me the true nature of the human spirit, which in this day and age I had begun to doubt. I hope that in the difficult times that Conner and his family face, they’re able to take comfort that this sprit goes with them, from all of us.

Very well done to everyone who put the day together, and to all those who attended from far and wide. It was a great day and I'm sure that whatever happens in the future Connor and his family have a great memory to treasure.
It was a privilge to be there.

Fantastic turnout! Was well worth the 2 hour drive to get there 
As promised, Here's the picture album (Craddy Media Facebook). If anybody wants a high res photo emailing, send me a message on that FB page (best way) or PM me on here. May be a bit longer replying on here though.

May have missed it -- What was the final count of the # of cars there?
To all of you who made the drive to that event, and especially to the marshals and organizers, you're f*cking amazing.

What an amazing day!!
It just goes to show what can be done when people get together for a good cause. I am very proud to have played a small part in what was a fantastic day for Connor and his Family.
Dear Zippy, Grumpy pants and family. You have an amazing Son and i'm sure you are very proud of him x

i'm with Sam on this. i didnt get to meet young connor but met scott when i got there at 9am. i know the sleepless nights that organising this event caused. i'm proud to have spent my day helping with getting people parked up and enjoying their day, even though it meant i missed many of the cars that attended.
this event happened because a handful of people who had never met before got their heads together and spent hours making calls,emails, updating attendance lists, and running around putting a lot of effort in to make this happen
this must have made those few people proud by seeing every photo of connor with the biggest smile i've seen for years. brings a lump to my throat every time i think about him.
I'm looking forward to meeting you all again next year....... there is a next year isnt there?

Just wanted to share a photo of Connor that I have been sent today.
He is wearing a one off OMP racing suit made for him in Italy and flown out by them for Connor!
I'm sure Connors family would want to thank Danilo from OMP America for this
I'm slightly jealous.
