History
2
At age five, Trevor Blake was diagnosed with stage 4 high-risk neuroblastoma cancer and for six years beat the odds stacked against him while fighting the disease. He received numerous treatments and helped pave the way for other children who needed similar treatment. He spearheaded the idea of Trevor's Treasures, a non-profit organization that raises money and collects toys for other kids suffering from cancer. His selfless motive was to bring hope and happiness and brighten the days of suffering children and their families. In his mother's words, Trevor will forever live in all of us for his courage, selflessness, strength, dignity, and the inspiration he gave to others, and Trevor's Treasures will carry on for the children and their families.
