Red Deer Students Help Alix Teen With Lukemia

By Sheldon Spackman
Two young Red Deer sisters were joined by their classmates at Ecole Oriole Park Elementary School last week to help raise money for one of their family friends diagnosed with lukemia in January of this year.
Blake Henry, the oldest of four siblings, is 13 years old and lives in Alix, Alberta. His mother Marcy has been friends with Andrea Caraca-Hart of Red Deer for many years and her daughter’s Sophia (11) and Olivia (9) are now good friends of Blake’s. Caraca-Hart says her daughter’s wanted to do something that might help Blake’s family get through the next three and a half years of treatments that lie ahead. So the girls held a cookie sale at Oriole Park school which was fully supported by the students and the School’s Principal, Colette Pedde. Over 300 cookies were sold with over $200 raised for the Henry family.
Caraca-Hart says “Blake is a very strong, smart, capable young man; a farm boy! Very helpful around the farm and other than this has always been very healthy.” She says “so far Blake has been hitting his milestones and proceeding with his treatment as scheduled.” Adding, ” The Henry family’s, friends and community have been amazing with the amount of support and love pouring in.”
