Hi, my name is Logan Baranowski. I’m helping raise money for my brother Blake Durand.

Blake went into the ER June 26 with severe back pain and left with a diagnosis of Stage 4 Esophageal Cancer. It has metastasized to his pancreas, liver, spine and bone.

Blake is 36 years old. He and his wife Laura have a 9 month old baby boy, Weston.

Blake begins chemotherapy on Tuesday, July 12. He has a very long road ahead of him with treatment as he fights for his life. In addition to his chemotherapy and immunotherapy, Blake has changed his diet to a specific cancer-fighting diet of all organic foods and juicing. They will have many expenses with his medical bills, prescriptions, supplements, gas, and parking.

Blake and Laura are currently both are unable to work so these bills in addition to a huge cut in their income is going to be very difficult on their finances.

Any contribution you feel in your heart to make to Blake and Laura would be greatly appreciated. We are completely blown away by the generosity they have been shown from their friends, family and community. Thank you just isn’t enough.
