On April 29th, Ben started vomiting blood, and went to the hospital. There, he was diagnosed with Metastatic (Stage IV) Melanoma. Due to the metal in his leg from an accident from years ago, cancer later developed in his bones and was missed at first, but was confirmed on Wednesday. Treatment will need to begin as soon as possible to get in front of this.

Ben is out in Phoenix, far from most of his closest family and friends. Let’s work together to help him with medical and moving costs for when he needs it!

When battling Stage IV Cancer, finances should not prevent you from getting the best care and support available. Stage IV causes the hardest physical and financial burdens and obstacles, so let's all show him our love and support from across the country in whatever way we can! I met Ben back in college, where he was known for always brightening the room with his infectious smile and happy personality. I want to give Ben reason to smile again.

The current pandemic situation has left many on hard times and unemployed. If you can donate, please do, but if you are unable to, please like and share this as many times as possible. And whether you are able to donate or share, please pray for Ben. He's in all of our thoughts
