UK Fans Send 9-Year-Old Who’s Battling Cancer to the Final Four

wave3.com-Louisville News, Weather
Final Four tickets are usually prohibitively expensive...unless, of course, you're a UK fan and the Wildcats are in the Final Four. Then there's nothing "prohibitive" about it. And when Big Blue Nation learns about a very special fan who wouldn't otherwise be able to attend, they rally.

9-year-old Blake Hundley is battling brain cancer.

He is also a HUGE Kentucky fan and counts UK big man Willie Cauley-Stein among his friends.

In fact, WCS gave Blake his UK dog tags during a recent visit to his home in Shelbyville.

Well now, Blake, who's recovering from a spinal tap and MRI at Kosair's on Wednesday, is getting a wish fulfilled.

Family friends set up a GoFundMe account and have raised $5000 for Blake and his family so they can not only have a hotel room, but also enjoy the Final Four from LOWER LEVEL SEATS!

Simply amazing!

Amidst a sea of bad news with which the 24-hour news channels flood our social media feeds and our TV screens constantly, it's incredibly gratifying and refreshing to see my faith in humanity rewarded once again.
