One of the stories I missed last week was the unfortunate passing of nine-year-old Blake Hundley, a huge UK fan who battled brain cancer for three years. By now, Blake's story should be familiar; he became friends with Willie Cauley-Stein and the two bonded throughout the season. As I was catching up on things this morning, reading
Willie's tribute to Blake on Instagram was especially poignant:
In honor of Blake's memory and to raise awareness for the fight against brain cancer,
his family and friends have declared today #BlueForBlake day. This should be easy for all of us. (I pretty much wear blue everyday anyways.)
So far, it's working. Here are some examples of you guys wearing #BlueForBlake:

Share a picture of yourself wearing Blue For Blake on Twitter or Instagram with the hashtag #BlueForBlake, or upload it to the
Prayers for Blake Facebook page.
