Hi Ben! I got your email a few days ago, sorry I haven't responded yet, I've been really busy with work and trying to plan my trip home to Indiana to be with my aunt. But, I did add the starlight foundation to our website, and I have sent them a check as well. Please let me know when your lemonade stand happens again so we can send some money to help out! I think that is such a cool idea! I am planning a 5k fun run for my ben's charity ...it'll take a while to put together due to everything that is going on with Ben's mom.....but I'll get there eventually. I just wanted to let you know how much of an inspiration you are to me and my family. You truly have what it takes to be someone spectacular in life and you have proven that at such a young age. Never stop fighting! You are a hero in my eyes and I think you are fantastic! I hope you get all that you have wished for this Christmas. My christmas wish was for my aunt to speak again and she has! Also, you have been my little Christmas miracle! It is those you have never met who make the biggest impacts on your life.....and you have made a tremendous impact on mine. Thank you! Please keep in touch! I hope you and your family have a very safe and happy holiday!!

Hi Ben! My name is Amanda Wilson and my cousin's name is Ben also. He died 2 years ago in a hiking accident and I came across your website while creating a website for him. His website is www.ourboyben.org ....I thought it was a good sign that I came across your website after creating his because you two seem to be a lot alike! He was an awesome little guy and I miss him dearly! I wanted to ask you if I could add a link from my webpage to yours so everyone who reads my cousin's story could read about yours too!!! ?? We started a scholarship in his name after he died to help children with learning disabilities. We are very excited to spread the word about him. Please email me at ourboyben@gmail.com. I would love to make a donation to your fund as well and I'm not for sure how to go about doing that.

Thank you

Amanda Wilson

  Hello Ben!!!

It has been too long since I visited your website.  A week in Myrtle Beach; how fun.  Thanks so much for stopping by Grange Hall during teacher work week.  How did you know that chocolate is my favorite☻?!  You looked wonderful!  I hope that you have adjusted to the middle school life.  You will be great!  We think of you often.  Don't forget about your loved ones at Grange.  You always have a place to come home to.  Enjoy the arrival of autumn. 

Love, Mrs. Schnee ☺

 Hi Ben,

    Sorry it has been a while since i have wrote to you. I see that your Lemon Aid stand was a big hit this year. I want to say congratulation to you on breaking last years money total. Ben i am proud of you for the time and determantion you put in with doing the Lemon Aid stand for the past 7 years. I saw in the picture of you and your mom you had a Red Sox hat on. Ben thats the way to keep Red Sox Nation going down in Virgina. They have about 25 games left and should make the playoffs. Winning the divison could be tough Tampa is playing some good baseball this year.

     It was good to see Victoria last week when see came up to look at some Colleges. One of these days it would be nice to come down and see you and the family. Or maybe you and the family will make a trip back up to Massachusetts.

 Take Care

Hello, Mr. Ben 

I can't get over how much money you were able to raise.  Wow!  It was great to see you, Ben. I can't believe you are getting ready for middle school.  Where does time go?  It seems like yesterday you were teaching my class about Egypt. I'm looking forward to some new pictures.  Love, Mrs. Finnimore
