Help a student fight brain cancer

Post by CJBlaha »

This is my post from Facebook. Thank you everyone for your support!

Friends,
One of my fine seniors, Blake Ryall, is going through an awful experience. He is fighting stage 3 brain cancer and is recovering from the removal of a brain tumor. I'd like to collect some tuba and euphonium CD's to send to him in a care package within the next couple weeks.
Those of you who have made recordings, would you please donate one to Blake? Would you be willing to autograph the CD booklet for a young tubist who is exceptionally talented and driven to become a great musician?
Small donations for CD's would also be accepted to help keep this young man's spirits up as he fights and defeats cancer.
Please mail them to ASU and I'll create a care package to surprise him.

If you re-post this on Facebook to help spread the word, please do what you can to hide it from Blake, because I'd like this to be a surprise. My hope is to give these recordings to him in 2 weeks.
Thank you for supporting this terrific student of mine!
