More Information on the Charlotte Go Red Luncheon and Movement
Tom and Victoria Condron
and daughter, McKenna
 
For Tom Condron and his wife Victoria, the miraculous event of childbirth did not exactly go as planned. Not only was the delivery of their daughter, McKenna, a situation of life and death - but in the first 2 years of her life were quite complicated. Her biggest issues involved her heart and lungs. Lungs are not fully developed until much later in a pregnancy, so McKenna was immediately put on a ventilator. In addition, she had a hole in her heart.
