Team Ben

About Ben

Ben Olson, a talented JV tennis player and beloved member of the Andover Tennis Team, is facing one of the toughest challenges of his young life. At just 16 years old, Ben has been diagnosed with Ewing Sarcoma, a rare and aggressive form of cancer that has affected his right arm. Despite this overwhelming diagnosis, Ben and his family are confronting this journey with incredible courage and resilience.

Ben's treatment involves intensive treatment at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester. Every other week, he undergoes chemotherapy, alternating between 2- and 5-day inpatient stays. In about three months, if everything goes as planned, Ben will undergo surgery to remove the tumor, followed by additional rounds of chemotherapy to give him the best possible chance for a full recovery
