The special event was in aid of Blake's Lasting Legacy, which was set up to improve the lives of families with children who have complex medical issues. Before his sad passing in January of this year, Blake’s unique personality touched the lives of many.
A proud member of Portadown True Blues Flute Band, Blake was a popular figure in the marching band community. He was also presented with the Inspirational Young Person title at the prestigious national 2023 WellChild Awards. Here’s a selection of Tony Hendron’s photos from the well-supported fundraiser on what would have been Blake’s 19th birthday.
