HOLD ON TO YOUR GUTS! 💥 This was Ben's go-to phrase whenever excitement was in the air. We use it as our daily reminder to play hard, laugh loud, and push through obstacles. Whatever you are tackling this week, do it with Ben-sized enthusiasm!

Let’s talk about the 'Why' behind our medical research funding. Ben passed away from a sudden brain aneurysm, which is a rare but critical complication associated with Autosomal Recessive Polycystic Kidney Disease (ARPKD). It is our family's mission to fund research that proves the need for regular screenings. Early screening can—and will—save other children's lives.

If you ever met Ben, you knew his signature icebreaker: “What kind of car do you drive?” 🚙 Ben had an intense love for everything automotive, a photographic memory for cars, and a joyful spirit that couldn't be slowed down by Autism, ADHD, or Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD). We built this foundation to mirror his exact kind nature. To our new followers: Welcome!
To our long-time supporters: Thank you for keeping his memory driving forward.
