Trevor Kott
October 14th, 2006 ~ April 25th, 2007
Trevor was born on October 14th, 2006, with a very rare type of cancer called AML (Acute Myeloid Leukemia). He endured 5 rounds of chemotherapy in hopes of keeping the cancer at bay until a compatible bone marrow donor could be found. As time went on, and no donor could be located, Trevor grew more ill.
In his short, but meaningful life, Trevor summoned up the good in people. He challenged strangers to answer a call to be good to each other; to take care of one another.
He made us take notice that, yes... one person can make a difference. 
It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that I tell you, Trevor Kott passed away on April 25th, 2007 because a bone marrow donor could not be found in time to save his life.
Some people search their entire lives in the pursuit of happiness, scurrying to fulfill a purpose, and struggling to understand the meaning of their lives. Trevor did all of that with what little time he had with all of us here on earth.
Trevor is a messenger. Countless lives will no doubt be saved because of the spirit of giving that Trevor invoked at the drives held in his honor.
