January, 2012 - The Pink Bow Shoot Off3153 viewsBen stopped by the Archery Trade Association Show (ATA) in Columbus, Ohio in January, 2012 to check out all the new archery products. While he was there, he challenged friends Nick Sampson and Lonnie Price to a "shoot off". Who could shoot the most flying targets with a hot pink bow from Bowtech that was on display in their booth!

Who won?

"As much as it hurts to say it, Ben beat us both," says Nick. "He only missed one target in the whole round!"

Gone Fishin'4537 viewsBen and Merril Hoge head out! Ben's friends Nick Sampson and Lonnie Price were also on hand.

Nick is a producer, and Lonnie is a photographer - their most recent work can be seen on the popular hunting show "Primal Instinct" on Versus TV. As you may recall, Ben was a guest hunter on the show last year, and the group got together for a goose hunt recently in Hershey, PA (you can see those photos in this album).

Ben and Merril released every fish they caught, and stopped counting after they caught 50 (at least that's their story!).

2012 Pro Bowl - Make A Wish1209 views13-year old Julian Kinard, a Damascus High School (Montgomery County, MD) quarterback awaits a signature on his football from Ben during the week of the 2012 Pro Bowl in Hawaii.

On New Years Eve, 2009. "flu-like symptoms" with a high fever suddenly turned into organ failure, life support and eventually a medically-induced coma for Julian. He was diagnosed with HLH (Hemophagocytic LymphoHistiocytosis), a rare blood disorder. In time, Julian, full of determination, "beat the odds" learning how to walk, talk and eat again. The one thing that kept him going was football!

"One of the first things he said before he could even walk again was, 'I'm going to play football and I don't care what anybody says'", he told his mother, Lorena Mauney.

He has been in remission since 2010, but is in need of a bone marrow transplant. He is on the registry for a donor.

The Make-A-Wish Foundation sent him to the 2012 Pro Bowl in Hawaii.

You can watch video of his story with FOX Channel 5 in Washington, DC:

Thank you to Lorena for sharing this story!Mar 01, 2012
