Blake

Blake was a sweet, strong, and fearless little girl who fought ATRT for most of her life.

She was diagnosed with ATRT by age 1 with a 4-inch tumor in the right frontal lobe.

She went through two tumor removals, high-dose chemotherapy, two proton radiation treatments, and multiple trial drugs. She also carried the germline mutation.

Blakie absolutely loved life and people to the fullest...despite what she had to go through.

Even though she never got to the point of talking many words and full sentences, she could express herself clearly and knew how to wrap everyone around her little finger.

Even though the doctors predicted she might not be able to walk on her own after the first big craniotomy, her determination and hard work in PT and OT got her to the point of doing just that! She went through many difficulties, including meningitis and an anaphylactic reaction to a chemo drug.

But she always showed that the impossible is possible and to never ever give up.

She did everything with a smile.

Unfortunately after 4.5 years of fighting, the cancer took over her body and she passed away at age 5.5 in June, 2021.

Hope and love are what kept her and all of us going, and we are grateful for every single minute we got to spend with her.

We miss her beautiful spirit every single day…forever wrapped in our hearts.

Blake’s mama continues to make essential oil rollerbottles through Bottles for Blake for the stores and boutiques that carry them. This is a therapeutic way for her to deal with the pain of the loss and to raise awareness and money all at the same time.

She is donating money to the PNOC foundation and donating rollerbottles to events from other cancer foundations.
