Ben has been battling DMG since March 2022. He has been through 2 brain surgeries, 33 radiation sessions, 22 months on a clinical trial and now on a set of targeted therapy medications through Nationwide Children’s Hospital. During his battle, Ben has stayed active and busy; wowing his team along the way. Ben has been enrolled in school full time, played a full season of ice hockey, club soccer and more! Through healthy eating, lifestyle choices and our Heavenly Father, Ben has been thriving through his treatment! 

"When Ben was diagnosed with DMG in March 2022, we felt lost and in the dark with no options. We needed hope. The Cure Starts Now played a vital part in guiding us in the right direction to find a clinical trial that was a great match for Ben. This became a beacon of light for our family, opening the doors for options desperately needed. Funding and research is a vital part of finding the Homerun Cure for kids like our son and we owe it to these kids to make a difference for a better future." - The Florer Family
