Team Ben

The top picture is on the cover of Ben’s first published book, “The Faithful Friends.”  The second picture is the cover for his second book, “The Homesteads Guide to Rare Breeds.”    You can find both on Amazon at the links below.

 Ben continues to enjoy his work at a horse farm in the Madison area.  His health is good. In general, he is enjoying life. 

The Potomac Fourth of July 5K is celebrating its 25th anniversary.  We will join the festivities with many others, as we represent Team Ben in Potomac. Tatiana and Alex Prusek joined our team.  They will race with us in Potomac. Ben, Jenn, and the dogs will be walking virtually in Verona.  You are welcome to walk a mile, or a 5K, or a block, to join in the spirit on our country’s birthday.

We are grateful for your support through about 13 years of our participation in this event.  Ben has gone from receiving services as a child to support as an adult.  We appreciate his growth and the advantages he has a result of the endeavors of Autism Speaks.  Research and education are the foundations of its programs.

If you are able to contribute this year, you can donate directly to Team Ben by scrolling to the bottom of this page and clicking on the donation button next to "Help us reach our goal!"

If you prefer to write a check, please make a check payable to Autism Speaks and write Team Ben in the note section of your check. You can mail it Pat Doane, 9807 Veirs Drive, #301, Rockville, MD 20850. 

Thank you for your encouragement and donation this year.  Have a great Fourth of July and summer.

Take care,

Joe and Pat
