Ben has been diagnosed T-Cell ALL Leukemia and for the past 3 weeks has been in Mary Bridge Children's Hospital in Tacoma, WA.  As you can surmise this has been devastating to Ben, his mom Katie, and the rest of his loving family.

His prognosis has been improving but he will be receiving Chemo treatments for at least 3 years.  Katie has had to quit working and will be unable to work for several months.  They are scheduled to be at the Hospital for at least  3 more weeks and will have to make weekly trips to Tacoma (a 2 hour drive from their home) for continuing Chemo treatments and procedures. 

Katie's Mom & Dad will assist within the limits of their fixed income. The situation will become urgent by the end of July.

If you can assist I know it will be greatly appreciated and also that it will take a major worry off Katie.

I am Randolph (Randy) West, Katie's father and Ben's Grandpa. I am fundraising because I dearly love the both of them and their need is both genuine and urgent.

Thanks So Much
