NO matter what happens on “The Amazing Race,” father-son duo David and Connor O’Leary of Salt Lake City have already won the biggest challenge of their lives. Both men have faced cancer – and won!
“We’ve shared a lot, including cancer,” said dad David, 58. “Three years ago at this time, he (Connor) was undergoing chemotherapy.
“To be able to be healthy and be sitting here to do this together is just an unbelievable opportunity.”
CONNOR, A 21-YEAR-OLD professional cyclist, was diagnosed with testicular cancer on June 21, 2010, just three days after his 19th birthday.
He’d been experiencing swelling in his left testicle for almost six months. David, who had suffered from prostate cancer two years earlier, took Connor to his urologist.
The physician soon confirmed the devastating news that Connor had cancer.
