UPDATE: My business is within 30 minutes of Drakes hometown. My team and I have reached out to Mrs. Danielle and I just got off the phone with her. I first wanted to see if the family had new years plans, and if not, would Drake be okay to fly to Arizona. Mrs. Danielle assured me that with a form from Drakes doctor that he would be A-Okay to fly. So that's it boys, my marketing rep is starting the wheel rolling on the GFM now. This is something that we should ALL get on board with!

If we can raise the funds for DWhite billboards and stadium fly overs (I donated) then surely we can do this to make this little mans Christmas the best ever!

I will start a thread with the GFM link as soon as its set up (sometime today). GEAUX TIGERS!

GoFundMe for Drake

After talking about Drake with some friends we decided to start a GoFundMe to send his family to Disney. I contacted his mother to get permission and make sure he was healthy enough to travel. She gave us the go ahead so let's make this happen!
