Ben and I met in college, where we became roommates and close friends.

Ben has built a beautiful family with his wife, Kaitie, and their four kids. Ben is the kind of person who touches lives as a friend, family member, in his community, or through his work as the voice behind How to Take Over the World. Now, Ben is facing the fight of his life.

Recently, Ben was diagnosed with stage 4 high grade neuroendocrine carcinoma. The cancer has spread to his brain, bones, lungs, and liver. He has already started his first round of chemotherapy, but a diagnosis at this stage is admittedly very grim.

Ben recently got a genetic test back from his liver biopsy and he's positive for a genetic marker that is likely to respond to a drug called Tarlatamab. In many cases, Tarlatamab can extend expected survival by a year or two, which is massive. But in order to achieve an outcome like that (and hopefully beyond), there will be an endless number of medical expenses for duration of Ben's life.

Every dollar raised through this fundraiser will go directly toward covering treatment and other ongoing medical expenses. This will give Ben a real chance to spend more time with his family and focus on fighting cancer.

We're asking Ben's community to show up for him the way he's always shown up for others. No gift is too small. Funds will be transferred directly from Gofundme to Ben's account. And if you can't give, please share this page, send a note, keep Ben close in your thoughts. Ben spent years telling stories about people who did the impossible. Let's write one for him.

With love and gratitude,

Jeremy
