Former UFC star Ben Askren has received a double lung transplant after a severe battle with pneumonia. His wife, Amy Askren, shared the news via social media, expressing gratitude towards the donor and their family. She reflected on how swiftly circumstances can shift, remarking that Ben was healthy just five weeks ago. The family is now navigating this new chapter and is requesting prayers for Ben's recovery, hoping he will accept the lungs as his own. Donations are being accepted to help with medical expenses related to the transplant.
We are so thankful to share that Ben has received a double lung transplant. We are forever thankful to the donor and his family. This is the beginning of a new lifestyle for Ben, but every new day he has is a gift.
It still doesn't feel real that he was walking around completely healthy just 5 weeks ago. So much can change so quickly. Please keep Ben in your prayers that his body welcomes the new lungs as if they were his own.
