If it weren't for Connor and his subsequent friendship with Mouse, I wouldn't have even heard of the IDF or that there are a lot of auto-immune conditions out there which aren't famous deseases like Aids, with some barely researched. So big ups to him - and of course you guys and ladies at the IDF!

In an online space where it often pays to be toxic, petty, and cruel, he’s a successful example of the best alternative.
