| Ben received treatment at UCLA |
Early this summer I received a text from our good friend Colleen Low. Her son Carter had received a Duncan Quilt as he battled cancer a couple of years ago (thankfully he is now in remission). She wondered if a quilt could be created for Carter's boyhood friend, Ben Kalish.
Ben was a 21 year old college student due to graduate next year, when he was diagnosed with Ewing's Sarcoma. This type of cancer is rare and aggressive. He soon learned that his course of treatment would last a year consisting of 16 rounds of chemo.
Reading a little about Ben, I learned of his love for hiking and the outdoors. His quilt has map fabric incorporated into the design.
The last update showed that his numerous tumors are shrinking. Ben has wonderful family and friends supporting his on this difficult journey.
We hope this quilt is a reminder to Ben of the many people who love him and are praying for strength and comfort for him and his family.
Love in the stitches....
