A Request for Blake Rader

The outpouring of love and support for Blake Rader has been tremendous. Requests about his health have come from all over the world, and we continue to rally around this wonderful five-year-old boy!

One of the things that has been done is that two of our college students here at Lebanon Road have made bracelets for Blake. They are giving them away, but asking for donations that will be put into a fund to help the Raders when bills begin to come due. I know that over 1250 have been given away, and that’s probably a very low estimate.

This next week, Blake begins his chemo and radiation treatments. He is doing a lot better, but we all know that these treatments will knock him down for a while. One of the ways the family is keeping his spirits up is to show him how many people are praying for him, and the bracelets are a visible reminder of that.

So…

Michael and Connie (Blake’s parents) have a special request of all of us. He is asking that we all take pictures of our bracelets and post them to the Pray for Blake Facebook page. Michael and Connie will then show him all these pictures from time-to-time to help keep his spirits up.

If you do not have a Facebook account, you can email the pictures to me, and I will be glad to post them for you. His treatments start next week, and I see no reason why we shouldn’t have at least 300 pictures up by then. Will you help out?

Here’s our picture to start! (Thanks to Shane Williams for taking this picture and getting it to me for this post.)
