Benn Joseph Palmer Willcox Discusses the St. Jude Campaign
Benn Willcox is quite clearly an extremely successful man in his field of expertize. However, unlike some businessmen, he believes in giving something to back to the community in which he lives and works. The St. Jude Children's Hospital is a passion of his, and he does all he can to draw attention to the superb work the hospital does in treating children diagnosed with cancer and other life-threatening illnesses.
Benn Willcox's involvement with the St. Jude Campaign has been ongoing for several years. The campaign effectively modified the hospital season into one for giving thanks. It achieved this by raising awareness and cash for the fight against childhood cancer and other critical illnesses. Over $588 million has been raised as results of what began as a holiday-focused fundraising effort by St Jude and has now become a much looked forward to annual tradition. The funds raised go towards maintaining the hospital's visionary analysis unit. “I try to participate as much as possible in all the charitable events that are organized – in fact, I have helped manage several of these events, which fortunately ran very succesfully.The charity contacts as many people and organizations as possible – celebrities, media, retail, even the World Health Organization. It is vital to recollect that these diseases will unfortunately affect everybody at some stage of their life. It is vital that we always remember those in need. It might be you or a loved one battling with ill health.”
Benn Willcox knows what it takes to treat a spine – after all, he is one of the sales representatives qualified to sell Orthofix’s spinal product line. After completing a rigorous training program about treatment options for various spinal pathologies, Mr. Willcox is supremely knowledgeable about the effectiveness of Orthofix’s FDA-approved bone growth stimulation devices - probably the most effective, state-of-the-art, spinal treatment therapies on the market today. These devices promote natural healing in fractured bones and spinal fusions that have either not healed, or are having a problem so doing. Instead of undergoing surgical treatments that can leave patients in additional pain and distress, these products work by sending low-level pulses of electromagnetic energy to injury sites in the spine to encourage the regeneration of the patient’s natural tissues, thus allowing the fractures to mostly heal on their own.
