A MESSAGE FROM Beneduccis Against Brain Cancer
November 3rd, 2024, I will be running the New York City Marathon on behalf of the Brain Tumor Foundation, and am seeking donations to a cause that I have become very connected to over the last 4 years.

In December of 2020, my father, Joe Beneducci, was diagnosed with Glioblastoma, the most aggressive and difficult to treat form of brain cancer. At the time of diagnosis, he was told that he had 12 months to live, but he continues to defy the odds now three and a half years later! His radiant positivity and optimistic attitude has never waivered. Even after several open brain surgeries, radiation, chemotherapy, and various immunotherapies all just to hear the same affirmation from doctors that effective treatments are limited, he has found a way to keep going.  

Throughout his life, he has lived by his mantra of "keeping your compass true north" by doing the right thing at every juncture of your life even if it may not be a sensible option. He has been able to navigate running large companies, building one from the ground up and taking it public on the New York Stock exchange, all while coordinating the very impactful meetings around never missing his children's sporting events, trick-or-treating, birthday parties, you name it. He has lived his entire life, often times to his own detriment, helping everyone else out before himself and, as a result, has impacted so many people's lives along his journey. I am tremendously proud to call him my father.

With that in mind, our family has set out and build a family insurance entity with his selfless way of living at its core. An altruist is defined as, "one unselfishly devoted to the welfare of others before their own", we decided to name our company, Altruis Group. It will be an entity that allows us to spread our father's outlook to others as he continues to battle this disease and well into the future. I will be running the New York City Marathon this year to show support for my father and all those fighting against this horrible disease. We hope that his battle can energize others to keep living life to the fullest.

Please consider donating to my fundraising campaign for the Brain Tumor Foundation. Your money goes directly towards research and development of treatments to combat brain tumors. Thank you!

    Jason, Joe — I’m so crushed to hear the news about your Dad. He is a defining figure in my life, offering me my first real internship at his company, ProSight. I felt fortunate every day to have your dad in my corner, willing to spend time with a couple of college students and invest in their careers! It doesn’t surprise me that his infectious and positive attitude toward life has extended to his battle with this cancer. I’ll be in NYC on November 3rd cheering you on. Looking forward to seeing you crush this marathon. Joe Sr — if you’re reading these notes, I want to thank you so much for all you’ve done. Your impact on others is immeasurable and felt everywhere you go! Keep fighting the good fight!
