Coach Blake attends The American Cancer Society's Relay for Life in Kohala with his family

This past saturday I participated in my towns Relay for Life which had a good turnout raising about $40,000 for the American Cancer Society. This experience for me was very emotional because I had recently just lost a family member to cancer but also have 2 uncles fighting it right now. Every step and Every lap I finished was for them n every human being that has survived it or still fighting. These past months have been very hard for me mentally and physically because Ive kept my feelings to myself and just felt hopeless because I cant do anything but support my family. Everyone has gone through these times where they have lost a loved one and it just hurts inside. Ive felt so lost lately but Doing Relay For Life and just being there made me bring peace with all of it. Instead of suffering, lost ones are finally in a better place and pain free. Cancer is a terrible disease and Even though I cant help save people, Ill for sure help any organization that helps fight against it...RIP Trina!!!!Every WOD for you n everyone going through it!!! -Coach Blake
