On November 24, 2017, Ben Hollow's life was turned upside down. In a freak lightning accident, Ben lost his legs, his future and, most importantly, the love of his life.
His workmates were left devastated. They had just lost 2 of their staff members. One forever and one in pain and mourning. Their anger and grief were short-lived as they channelled that energy into making a difference for Ben and his family by creating a fundraising page to assist with Ben's medical, rehabilitation and day-to-day living expenses.
5 months later, Ben is slowly getting back on his feet, literally. Through extensive rehab and the support of his family and friends, Ben is starting to get on with his life.
A recent interview with A Current Affair's Tineka Everaardt gave Australian's a first-hand glimpse of what Ben is going through. Along with local charity Helping A Friend In Need, over $12,000 has been raised to support Ben on his road to recovery.
The team at mycause is proud to support Aussie battlers like Ben to get back on their feet and provide fundraising solutions and media support.
We wish Ben a speedy road to recovery and send our deepest sympathies to the family and friends of Ben's true love, Lauren.
