On May 30th, 1993, a wonderful baby boy was born to John and Annette Vidlak, in Winston-Salem, NC. Unfortunately, later that year Ben was diagnosed with AML - Acute Myeloid Leukemia. Through all his treatment, Ben was such a strong little guy; always a smile on his face. He loved playing with his trains and cars. A brief blessing to this world, he passed away on December 7th, 1994. He left behind a wonderful family who loved him, including my girlfriend, his cousin, and I am honored to do this in his memory.
I'm having my head shaved to stand in solidarity with kids fighting cancer and in remembrance of Benjamin Vidlak. But more importantly, to raise money to find cures. Please support me with a donation to the St. Baldrick's Foundation. This volunteer-driven charity funds more in childhood cancer research grants than any organization except the U.S. government. Your gift will give hope to infants, children, teens and young adults fighting childhood cancers. So when I ask for your support, I'm really asking you to remember Ben and support children fighting cancer. Thank you! Click "Make a donation" to give online, or donate by phone or mail.
