Connor Karow
Right above-knee amputee
Connor Karow was first introduced to the Limbs for Life family at 2004’s Limb Round-Up. A “Help Connor Walk” campaign at that benefit raised over $18,000. Connor was two at the time and since has received three prosthetic limbs thanks to Limbs for Life.
He is a congenital amputee, born with a right leg that only extends to just above the knee. After using a straight let prosthetic for his first two years, he was fitted with a prosthetic that included a knee joint shortly after his second birthday. Limbs for Life and those who donated at the 2004 benefit helped make it easier for Connor to get around.
Connor is five years old. He and his family moved from California to Edmond, Okla., in November 2007. He is currently in kindergarten at Deer Creek Rose Union Elementary School in Edmond.
