Eleven-year-old Lucas Connor of Luxemburg is heading to Maryvale this spring as a guest of a local hospital and the Milwaukee Brewers.

 

Connor is joining Marinette teen Reece Walters and Ixonia teen Andersen Kerls as Aurora Health Care All-Stars. According to WLUK, Connor suffered from lymphoblastic lymphoma before undergoing two years of chemotherapy treatments, including oral, spinal, leg and belly treatments. While he is still undergoing chemotherapy treatments, he is essentially cancer-free after a softball-sized tumor forced him to lose the ability to walk, stay in a hospital for 35 days, and suffer from organ damage. 

 

Along with their families, Connor, Walters, and Kerls will join the Brewers for  an all-expenses-paid VIP experience at Brewers spring training next month in Phoenix, Arizona.

 

 

Connor will not be the only newbie in Maryvale after the Brewers finalized a trade with the New York Mets that sent ace pitcher Freddy Peralta and bullpen arm Tobias Meyers for star prospects right-hander Brandon Sproat and utility player Jett Williams.
