Meet Benjamin, a strong little boy who was diagnosed with ALL in June of 2023. Prior to his diagnosis, Benjamin enjoyed playing baseball and lots of outdoor activities, but has since developed a passion for video gaming and Lego sets. He is proud of how far he has come through his cancer journey — one of the things he looks forward to after treatment is over, is bringing his port to school for show and tell, once it’s removed. Read our interview with Benjamin’s mom below:

Tell us about your warrior and their journey: 
Ben was diagnosed in June of 2023 with b-cell ALL. This came of course as quite a shock. Prior to his diagnosis, Ben enjoyed playing baseball and lots of outdoor activities. Since being diagnosed and having to be more cautious of injury, he has developed a passion for video gaming and building Lego sets. Occasionally we look back at pictures we’ve taken so far on this journey, to show him how much progress he has made and you can see that he is proud of himself. He tells us how strong he is and how much he has been through and how he can’t wait for all of this to be over.

How has NNCCF impacted your family’s journey?
NNCCF has helped our family immensely with holidays and eased the stress of regular life. As a family we love that we are always welcomed there with a warm smile and a friendly atmosphere.

Is there anything you would like to add?
One of the things Ben looks forward to after treatment is over, is bringing his port to school for show and tell, once it’s removed (since he’s now grown comfortable with his battle scar).
