During the summer of 2009, college student Ben Richardson remembered his father by hiking 2,178 miles on the Appalachian Trail. In the months leading up to the journey, PennyBen raised over $10,000 for the American Cancer Society, which was presented to the Hope Lodge in Grand Rapids, Mich. before Ben left for his hike.

Today we continue Ben’s journey by raising funds and giving support to those who have cancer. By giving your pennies, you can make a difference, and we can help heal and support those with cancer — one penny at a time.
