Dr. Ben has built a life and a career around helping others.  He and his wife Deborah need your help now.  Dr. Ben’s recent diagnosis of ALS is one that comes without a cure or a timeframe.  After insurance, out of pocket costs are estimated at $150,000 and up each year.  Dr. Ben and Deborah are proud and strong; yet they know what the impact of several years of Ben's declining health can have on Deb’s future. Let’s help them offset those predictable out of pocket costs beginning with a modest goal of $50,000.  As the doctors at Duke help Dr. Ben navigate ALS, we can extend our efforts.
