ABOUT

Benjamin was diagnosed with brain cancer just before his 3rd birthday and given only a few months to live. His first surgery was the placement of a central line which allowed him to begin treatments and receive supportive care. Doctors provided Benjamin’s mother with pins and tape to manage the tubing that were permanently hanging from his chest. During Benjamin’s 6-year battle, his central line was pulled out, infected and replaced more than 20 times. To correct these emergent and unnecessary complications, Benjamin suffered through painful procedures that delayed treatment and further threatened his health. 

Ben Guard™ is dedicated to changing the Standard of Care in pediatric catheter care to medical wearables for pediatric safety. Creating a safer environment for children and their caregivers, preventing serious and expensive complications and subsequent hospitalizations. 

Benjamin was a fearless, active boy who loved God, his mom, sisters, and baseball. In all we do, Ben Guard™ honors his life.
