The Story Behind Blake's Run

• Blake's Gift: On December 23, 2001, 10-year-old Blake Schoenrock wrapped a small note like a Christmas present and placed it under the family tree.
• Remarkable Life: Blake grew into a remarkable young man: a dedicated student at Texas A&M, an accomplished athlete, and a joyful presence to everyone who knew him.
• Tragic Loss: Just 10 days after completing a triathlon, Blake unexpectedly suffered a major heart attack. He was 20 years old.
• Powerful Message: Following his passing, Blake’s parents opened the gift he had placed under the tree for 10 straight years. Inside, they found a simple, powerful message: “Tell the world about Jesus.”
