Taking Cancer To the Mat - 2013 Profiles In Courage, by Paul Driessen, campaign manager: My daughter had just learned she would have to endure still more chemotherapy for her leukemia. A tear welled up in her eye. But she quickly stopped herself, and her steely resolve returned. “If Ben can go through everything he’s had to deal with,” she said, “I can do this.”
Amy kept her commitment, with flying colors. So did Ben. Ben Rubenstein is a cancer survivor nonpareil and author of Twice: How I Became a Cancer-slaying Super Man Before I turned 21.
Help Me Change the World Today, by Ben Rubenstein, candidate: Eleven years ago, I lay on a hospital bed with an obliterated immune system, as stem cells from an anonymous baby girl sped through my veins. I closed my eyes and envisioned them sticking inside my hollow bones and repopulating my marrow with clean, cancer-free cells. I was 19 years old and battling my second cancer, this one affecting my blood. My fantasy became reality, and I survived myelodysplasia through a combination of hope, attitude, support and modern medicine.

Accepting nomination for Man of the Year, by Ben Rubenstein, candidate,: By the Grand Finale Gala on June 14, I will be 11 years cancer-free from my second cancer, which was (shocker) a cancer of the blood. Therefore, my goal is to raise $10,000 for each cancer-free year, totaling $110,000!
