Welcome to our fundraising page!
Our family has been PROUD supporters of Ben's Run since it's inception in 2010. We have made a TREMENDOUS impact in fighting pediatric cancer and securing funds for Children's National Medical Center. To date, we have raised over $863,000 to support research, clinical trials and are LITERALLY saving lives! We are not only supporters of Ben's Run, but we KNEW Ben, we were there along the way as he bravely fought and sadly lost his battle! As this is the 10th and final year for the run, we are attempting to raise $1,000,000 over our 10 years! Won't you please help us in this worth goal?? ANY DONATION IS GREATLY APPRECIATED and as we have seen over the last 9 years- every penny counts! We thank you in advance and hope we can count on your support! Thank you for your generosity!
Love, Jon, Tracey, David, Nicky and Lizzie
I'm proudly supporting Ben's Run, a charity fighting pediatric cancer. I truly appreciate any contributions you are able to make. If you can't make a donation at this point, help me reach my goal by sharing this page on Facebook and Twitter. Even better send an email to friends you think might be interested in contributing and include a link to my page. Thank you for your generosity!
The run has been impacting cutting edge research in pediatric cancer over the last 10 years. This year you have the ability to impact the lives of children fighting cancer directly by allowing them access to clinical trials we are funding in immunotherapy. Not only will your donation help us reach our $1 million over 10 year goal and have our life-saving work be recognized through Ben's Run signage at Children’s National, but most importantly, your donation will expand access to the RESOLVE clinical trial to 10 new patients at high risk of relapse, and start the readily available protocol for 12 patients for whom bone marrow transplant isn’t an option. You can provide hope to these families!
The ability to fund new research has changed dramatically over the years. Young researchers can reliably get small government grants to get started, but the next level of funding requires a vast body of data and research. Philanthropy is the only way to bridge the gap so that these researchers have a shot at the real NIH funding that will actually bring new treatments to patients. Ben's Run is proud to be a real catalyst in gathering the body of data and research that in turn attracts even greater dollars to see these ideas through - your money actually multiplies exponentially as this critical research we fund gets picked up and funded by even larger grants. Together we can change treatments and provide new hope for children and their families battling cancer.
