Ian the Cancer Wrangler

Ian the Cancer Wrangler Ian Scott Bentz is an almost 3 year old little boy going through childhood cancer. His journey started back in July of 2022.

He’s gone through a lot of highs and lows with surgery, scans, secondary conditions, plus the other normal things toddler boys go through. After 10 months, we still do not have a diagnosis or treatment program, but we do know that his cancer has produced malignant tumors. We have decided to create a page to keep everyone updated on his journey, updates on his blog, posting fundraisers and events to help support his journey. We ask for lots of prayers, positive thoughts, love, and play time for this boy while he goes don this special path created just for him.

🏎️ Racing Hearts, Changing Lives! 🏎️

We closed out summer with a night we’ll never forget at the ALQMA-Abraham Lincoln Quarter Midget Association Race event on August 16th—hosted by none other than the amazing McFeeters Racing family and ImpactLife . 💥

The McFeeters family isn’t just fast on the track—they’re unstoppable when it comes to giving back. Through the highs and lows of Ian’s journey, they’ve stood by us with love, strength, and a passion for making a difference. 💛

This season, they didn’t just race for trophies—they raced for hope. Partnering with ImpactLife, McFeeters Racing has been taking awareness for childhood cancer and the need for blood donations across the nation—one track at a time. 🩸

On race night, ImpactLife sponsored the event, presented awards, handed out goodies, and even offered free blood typing. Ian had the time of his life waving the checkered flag and cheering on the racers—all thanks to the McFeeters crew making this happen! 🏁

What an amazing night at Obed & Isaac's Microbrewery and Eatery - Peoria for the Pint for a Pint blood drive! 🍻🩸✨ Delicious food 😋, homemade root beer 🥤, and the perfect place to relax while giving back—it doesn’t get any better than that! 🙌

The ImpactLife team 💉❤️ makes it all possible. We love everything they do, especially when we get to scan their “Thank a Donor” QR codes 📲 on Ian’s transfusion bags. It’s so meaningful knowing those bags came from people who chose to give life 🩸💛—and that most of the blood collected stays right here in our local hospitals 🏥.

Ian loves watching the process 👀—it’s become so normal for him now. My hope is that my kids grow up knowing just how important this is 💪 and carry that passion forward. 💖

To everyone who donates: thank you 🙏💛. It truly means the world to us. 🌎❤️

💛 Ian’s Summer Update 💛

This summer has been such a gift for our family. Ian has enjoyed all the simple joys of being a little boy—playing outside with his sisters, swimming, celebrating his birthday, and exploring new places. We were so excited to take him to Yellowstone and his first Longhorn show since treatments began—moments that reminded us just how far he’s come.

He’s also spent time with cousins, gone to church, and shared laughs with our “found us” farm cat, Molly. As school approaches, Ian is full of excitement and energy, and we are beyond grateful for his incredible care team and wonderful school staff who support him every step of the way.

Seeing him healthy, strong, and thriving during maintenance treatment fills our hearts with hope and joy. Thank you all for being part of his journey and celebrating these milestones with us. 🌟

We are filled with gratitude as we reflect on the incredible success of the 44th Annual St. Jude Runs. Inspiration was everywhere, with each community lighting the way for St. Jude patients and families.

Together, we are making a difference. ❤👣

Here they go!! What an awesome way to bring awareness. Especially when it starts at one of our homes away from home, right through our backyard, then ending at our other home away from home.

April 13th was Ian's anniversary of his Cancer coming back and our loves changing. Today, Ian completed camp kindergarten so that he is all ready for kindergarten next year.
He loves school and we couldn't be happier. Sometimes we worry with development with lots of medical setbacks. We know speech is something he will be working with for some years, but in no way is he NOT ready for kindergarten!! Yay Class of 2038!!!
