Ben's Battle: Support Ben's Cancer Journey

Donation protected
The Olson Family is facing a difficult journey. Their 16-year-old son, Ben, has been diagnosed with Ewing sarcoma, a rare form of cancer affecting his right arm. His treatment includes chemotherapy at Mayo Clinic in Rochester every other week, with alternating 2- and 5-day inpatient stays. If treatment goes as planned, Ben will have surgery in about three months to remove the tumor, followed by more chemotherapy to help ensure the best possible outcome.

It’s a challenging road ahead, and while the Olsons are a resilient, strong family, the emotional and financial strain is unimaginable. From travel to time away from work and other unexpected costs, the expenses are going to quickly add up.

We’ve set up this fundraiser in hopes we can come together in community to ease some of the financial burden that comes with helping a loved one battle cancer. Every contribution, no matter the size, will help the Olson Family focus on what matters most: Ben’s recovery.

100% of donations will go directly to the Olson Family.

Any amount you’re able to give will make a meaningful difference. Thank you for keeping Ben and his family in your thoughts and for offering support during this time.
