Thank you for visiting our fundraising page.

In December 2001 our friend Blake Porter was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Blake fought hard and courageously with amazing dignity. Unfortunately, no treatment was available that could kill the awful tumors that had spread in his brain and to his spine.

Blake passed away just weeks ago on October 5, 2005.
To honor Blake and keep his memory alive we have decided to support the Brain Tumor Foundation for Children, Inc. Blake touched many, many lives in his 16 short years. He wanted to help others find a cure so we think that Blake would be happy to know that we are continuing to fight against this horrible disease for him. Please help us work towards achieving that goal by supporting us in memory of Blake. You can do several things: *Join our team "Blake's Buddies" for the walk. Simply go to www.firstgiving.com/btfc to register. Please indicate our team name on the registration form. We will look forward to seeing you there! *Register as a phantom walker on this same site. *Register in person on race day or *Donate in memory of Blake using this page. Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to make a contribution to our fundraising efforts. Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too! Although Blake's fight is over many other children and their families are still fighting hard and they so need your help. Please support this worthy organization and help these families keep fighting. If you have any questions please email me @ h1988@bellsouth.net I would love to hear from you. You can also go to the Brain Tumor Foundation for Children website @ www.braintumorkids.org/index.asp for details about last years race, other fundraising events, info on brain tumors, how the funds are used and much more. We love you Blake!
