When you’re given the gift of life after almost losing it at birth, it’s really easy to appreciate life, and appreciate every moment, in every day. ❤️🙏🏻

A perfect, chance encounter today at Disney World proved the heart of gold, and love Blake has for the world.🎢🎡🐭

Blake was carrying a couple autographed cards from his buddy rogerclemens and, when he saw these 4 people walking past, knew what he had to do.

We stopped them, spoke, Blake gave them the cards and his card, as well a few other Boston sports cards. They tried to buy them, we refused vehemently. They slipped Blake some cash and we refused. They said buy ice cream. We said we can’t accept. Instead, we found a happy compromise. Blake found out their favorite charity, stjude, so they will receive this donation from these kind people.

This was a perfect moment for Blake; he spread #thehobby joy with a gift, and he helped needy kids. Love it so much!

michaelrubin and mikemahan were both witness to Blake’s unsurpassed kindness and paying it forward generosity, when at the nsccshow last summer in Chicago, Blake pulled a $500 card for a break with them and mostandwatsonbreaks,
And proceeded to give the card away to a father and son standing behind him for free, no strings attached. That’s Blake all day, every day. Growing the hobby, through the true spirit of the hobby. 

So many great things coming, keep following this amazing young man!
