Ben Kende Foundation Marvel 10K Wheelchair Run
Story
Hi
The Ben Kende Foundation are excited to announce that we are involved in the Marvel 10K Weekend at Disneyland Hong Kong.
On the 17th of September, Ben and some budding BKF supporters will be running around Disneyland to raise funds for the Ben Kende Foundation. Well, they won’t actually be running. Ben and his BKF supporters will be rolling around the 10 km course in wheelchairs in the name of solidarity for those, including Ben, who are living their lives in Wheelchairs. They may have an advantage on the downhills, but the uphills will be murder.
All proceeds will go to the Ben Kende Foundation. The Foundation provides ongoing support for Ben's rehabilitation and support endeavors to improve the lives of people with Spinal Cord Injuries. The goal of this particular fundraising event is to raise enough funds for Ben to hopefully have a Spinal Implant, These are one of the most promising curative innovations we've seen. In those who have had the procedure, the Spinal Implant has had remarkable success in restoring continence function, and even improved voluntary control of otherwise paralysed muscles. If you would like more information about the Spinal Implant, please visit: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/2ZPCCDW1XHx2yFzrzqBrcn5/could-the-paralysed-stand-again-with-just-a-tiny-electronic-implant.
Any help would be fantastic and thank you all for your generosity! Please share this with your friends.

Ben Kende Foundation (The Trustee for)
At 18, Ben Kende suffered a catastrophic spinal injury in an international rugby competition. Ben became quadriplegic, with no lower body movement and severely restricted upper body function. However the remarkable thing about Ben is not his injury, it is his absolute determination to succeed despite his injury.
Now 22, Ben will graduate from Sydney University this year, having three times received the Rectors academic award and appointed Student Leader at St Johns College. He has undergone tough operations and intensive therapy 3 days each week.
The Ben Kende Foundation was formed with the aim of providing ongoing support to Ben and actively lends and receives support from other spinal cord Foundations. We are a recognised Charity, run by volunteers and 100% of all donations we receive go directly to support the Foundation's activities.
