When Ben was 8 years old, he realized that his hands were cracked and dry. He and his family had been constantly washing their hands to keep germs away. Ben's friends were fighting leukemia and needed everyone to keep them safe and free of germs.
So, Ben invented a product that combined both soap and lotion and called it "Soshen". He is now 13 years old. His two young friends are cancer free! And his products have expanded to scrubs and fizzy bath teas and more. He donates 20% of his proceeds to Texas Children's Hospital.
I first heard about Ben when I was working for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society in Houston. Kids like Ben make my heart so happy. We grown ups sure could learn a lot from them. They still believe in the impossible. They still dream big. And they aren't scared to take a risk to make something great happen.
Great job Ben! If you would like to order some of Ben's amazing products visit his website: Soshen
