My name is Jed, and I’m a nurse by profession. I have spent my career caring for others, but today I’m reaching out not as a professional, but as a friend. Benjamin Zamora, known to many as Anklai, is one of my closest friends. I’ve known him since our cycling days in San Jose, and I am honored to be one of the godparents of his beautiful daughter, Anela.

Recently, Benjamin received life-altering news: he has been diagnosed with Thyroid Cancer. His treatment journey has been challenging because of several visits to the hospital. His treatment includes octreotide injections, interventional radiology procedures, and soon, radiation therapy. While he bravely faces these challenges, the medical expenses and co-pays are mounting, adding financial stress to an already difficult time.

Benjamin’s world revolves around Anela, and he dreams of being there for every milestone in her BMX journey, every laugh, and every moment she grows up. Now, more than ever, he needs the support of friends, family, and kind-hearted strangers to help cover his medical expenses, so he can focus on healing and being the loving father, husband, and devoted friend we all know him to be.

Every donation, no matter how small, brings Benjamin one step closer to recovery. Your generosity will provide him peace of mind, allowing him to focus on fighting this disease with strength, courage, and hope. Sharing this campaign also helps spread awareness and support for Benjamin and his family during this challenging time.

Please join us in supporting Benjamin in his fight against thyroid cancer. Together, we can make a meaningful difference in his life and give him hope for a healthier future.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
