Hi Fans all over germany have started to help a fan called benjamin (or Benny) who got leukemia and will die if noone can be found that can help him with bone marrow. Many fangroups - among them ppl of the city rival Union Berlin - are getting themselves tested and raise money to help benny. I think this is worth being mentioned, because many ppl take a lot of work into it and still it does not look good for benny. more information here (in German). http://www.helftbenny.de/ http://www.hb98.de/ www.nkr-mhh.de http://www.hannover96.de/MODULES/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=4657 http://www.hertha-inside.de/forum/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=3;t=000195;p=1
Although they've found a "genetic twin" he died due to an infection this saturday. Rest in peace, Benny.
I'm so sad about it. 96 fans organized so much and I was so happy when I read that the genetic twin was found. R.I.P. Benny. We'll never forget you. I hope that all the money that was donated and blood tests (?) that were done will help lot's of people around the world so that something good will come out of this!
RIP Benny Others will unfortunately follow. Here's to hope that they can be saved, maybe with the help of soccer fans.
I hope this can show the world how football is so much more than a game. I don't know of anything else that unites the people of the world more than this beautiful game. Keith
Surely my money don`t help. But the future must be a better Database. The future must be a way to help more effictive. This has nothing to do with Benny. And not the way of the rich people (not them who try to help) to show them how wounded they are and be. They must know, if they dindn't help, none helps them. Ok I'm really not a poor man, but to help is the first thing what I can do. I can't help everybody, but I try with things I can do. When I see sometimes when I'm skiing that some people celebrate themselves and the press style them to heroes, I ask me, hey where's your brain. They never worked, they'll never work, but they will rule the world. They earn the money from their parents. And they tink the world is only for them. I talked sometimes with them, and I asked me, hey, have you small brain or are you not corrupt enough. The result is, I did'nt never want to correspondent with them ever. OK, one times I met a real Queen, - never write wich country -, a real royal, but she talks absolutely normal. That was in summer. She goes normal to the beach - with some gun men - but this family have money enough. And she was normal. She ask is this chair free - yes - order some food eat, had fun and go. At this time I don`t know that she would be Queen of a huge country, 3 years later I saw her on TV.
And yet more bad news. Marcel, a 96 fan, 19 years old, happened to follow benny's way. he also had leukeminia, found a donator, was on his was off recovery but died because of a simple pneumonia... That is exactly what happened to benny. What a day :-(
