When Benjamin was born one month premature, he was transferred via Life Lion pediatric ambulance to Penn State Health Children’s Hospital, where he received life-saving care. Benjamin designed this year’s telethon t-shirt, which will be given to donors who pledge $35 or more monthly. View a video about Benjamin.
