Bay Area Native Wins $10M on MrBeast’s Gameshow
A Bay Area native, Jeffrey Allen, recently achieved an incredible feat by winning a whopping $10 million on the Prime Video Original Series Beast Games. In an interview, Allen expressed his excitement, saying that the experience was truly special and gave him goosebumps just thinking about it.
Inspiration struck Allen when his 9-year-old son, Jack, introduced him to MrBeast. Seeing an opportunity to be a cool dad and shed light on his 7-year-old son Lucas’s rare disease, Creatine Transporter Deficiency (CTD), Allen decided to apply for the show. Lucas, who has CTD, requires constant assistance with daily activities due to severe cognitive and developmental delays.
Allen and his family have been working tirelessly to raise awareness about CTD and advocate for more research and funding. Winning the $10 million jackpot on the show was a dream come true for Allen, who sees it as an opportunity to make a meaningful impact. While the money will help support his family and fund research into CTD, Allen acknowledged that more funding is needed to develop a therapy for the condition.
To further his cause, Allen has decided to embark on a 365-mile journey, carrying the weight of his son Lucas, to raise additional funds for CTD research. Starting from the eastern border of California and ending at the Pacific Ocean, Allen hopes to draw attention to the urgent need for treatments and a potential cure for CTD.
His inspiring journey will begin on Tuesday, with Allen’s determination shining through as he walks the path with his son in his heart. Allen’s unwavering commitment to his son’s well-being and the broader CTD community exemplifies the power of hope, resilience, and advocacy in the face of challenges.
