My Story

Ben will turn 16 next month.He's always been a thrill seeker and if cancer has slowed him down,not by much. After indoors rock climbing and sled hockey, Ben just added sky-diving and adaptive skiing to his list. So now, the focus is on finding a way to drive!Did I mention he is 16? One if his favorite activities is the Livestrong Challenge, which has really motivated him to physically challenge himself while being surrounded by an incredible team of nurses, therapists,volunteers, fellow survivors who encourage him every step of the way. Ben is known for his very caustic humor, so it is no surprise that his goal for the upcoming Livestrong Challenge is "to make all the girls cry when he crosses the finish line" A very special thank you to our extended family at Dell's Children and to everyone who supports the fight against cancer!
