Meeting a Physical Need

Twelve years ago, Robert was diagnosed with and treated for a rare, soft tissue cancer in his right leg.  The cancer returned in 2019 and after a hard fight to save his leg, Robert had to make the hard decision to have his leg amputated.

Since receiving his prostheses, he has worked tirelessly to regain his strength and get back to the activities he loves like golf and hiking.

Through his cancer journey, the amputation, and the rehabilitation process, Robert gained a newfound empathy for those who are dealing with the loss of a limb.  The high cost of prosthetics, along with minimal coverage by insurance companies, makes them unaffordable for some. 

Being an athlete and knowing how important mobility is in his life, Robert wants to help people who need a prosthesis and desire an active life.

The Benjamin Foundation provides supplemental funds to purchase a quality prosthesis for those who need financial assistance.
