Organiser's Description
Ethan Bensons cancer journey is a story of courage, hope, and the power of walking through the unknown one day at a time. In January 2023, our world changed overnight when Ethan was diagnosed with a fast and aggressive brain cancer. We had no roadmap and no certainty about how long we would have him with us. But St. Jude gave us something priceless hope and a different perspective when we needed it most.
St. Jude wrapped their arms around Ethan and our entire family. They gave us a plan when we felt powerless. They offered treatment and research options that didnt exist anywhere else. We walked this road moment by moment, helping Ethan live as a hero on his journey. We did not know what each scan would bring but we chose to stand strong and trust the next step. Today Ethan has just received his two and a half year cancer free scans and we celebrate this milestone with deep gratitude.
Our mission with Team Ethan is bigger than our family. We want to help save more children facing brain cancer. We want to support St. Jude so that families still fighting for a cure have a fighting chance and never have to feel alone. Every dollar you give fuels research and care that saves lives just like Ethans. Thank you for helping us bring hope to kids who deserve the chance to grow up cancer free.
