Crossbar Challenge for Ben
My daughters’ soccer teams just participated in a crossbar challenge to support Ben Landel, a senior soccer player at Ramapo high school. During spring track season, Ben was having a hard time catching his breath, and after several misdiagnoses, was found to have a rare, aggressive cancer. He is undergoing treatment, and his teammates started #Bars4Ben to raise money and show support for Ben and his family.
Do you know a soccer player? If so, please pass this on.
The rules are:
1. Have each member of your team take 3 shots at the Cross Bar from the 18.
2. For every ball that strikes the crossbar, make a $10 donation to the Go Fund Me site that has been established for Ben (or simply make a donation from your team). The link to the Go Fund me site is https://www.gofundme.com/ben-landel-cross-bar-challenge
3. Please video your event or take some photos and challenge other teams to do the same.
4. Post the video and/or photos on Facebook /Instagram to spread the word – with the hashtag #Bars4Ben
5. Most Importantly – Have Fun. Keep Ben in your thoughts & prayers along with everyone else fighting this dreadful disease. And lastly – have a great soccer season!
