Running into the ocean and letting the waves knock you over.

Did I mention Ben did this all blind?
Driving a motorcycle as fast as you can on the Black Rock Desert.
Climbing onto the roof to hang out.
Trying a vegan diet to stay healthy.
Dancing with your cousin and laughing about your crazy dance moves.
Did I mention Ben did all this blind?
Driving 9 hours taped to a motorcycle to see your family & say goodbye.
Telling us all to be happy because he was going to heaven.
I don’t think many of us have tried a lot on the list above but Ben did it all and more! He always wanted to challenge himself and push the limits. It was hard to watch but also inspiring. He was strong and bright and wanted to celebrate life.
Let’s all find the Warrior Spirit within and do something that is hard. Ben would say we could do it! And we can raise $$$ to find a cure for ALD while we are at it and change the future for another family. Let’s all Be Warrior!
You can ‘Be Warrior’ too!
You are invited to ‘Be Warrior’ in Ben’s memory by participating in one of our ‘Be Warrior’ Challenge hikes, by creating your own ‘Virtual Challenge‘ or making a donation to help us find a cure for ALD. We would love to hear how you are accepting the challenge!
