Foundation of Ivanson Foundation[]
In 1987, whilst filming an episode of Neo-Shifters in Comoeys, Ben noticed a young teenager on Miku Kayos Viaduct walking back and forth along the bridge. When the teen started to climb atop the railing, Ben and some other pedestrians yelled at him to stop and think about his decision. The teen ignored them and jumped to his death. The teen was later identified as Richard Doubtfire, a native of Bendigo in Victoria, Australia. Richard had suffered from bullying and left a suicide note at his divorced father's house in Eirabourne which simply said "I wish I was loved, as I'm now gone." Ben's attempt to save the child's life was highlighted on the news program of TTV. Ben founded the Ivanson Foundation as the Aritonazcan Suicide Prevention to help stop suicide in the Vlokozu Union and other parts of Aritonazca, before changing to its current name in 2000.
