THANK YOU!

Words just cannot express the gratitude that we feel after Saturday evening’s gala.  The love and support that you all gave that night was beyond what we ever could have imagined.  Because of your generosity, we will be able to send a record number of children to Camp Oasis this year.  We truly cannot wait to do it all over again next year.

P.S. SAVE THE DATE for October 20, 2018 for the 10th ANNUAL A Mother’s Wish Gala Casino Night!

Please send any pictures you have of the evening to amotherswish@comcast.net…we would LOVE to see them!

All our love,

The mom’s of A Mother’s Wish

 I WANT TO THANK EVERYONE TONIGHT FOR BEING A PART OF THIS AMAZING JOURNEY THAT STARTED BACK IN 2009. A MOTHER’S WISH FOUNDATION WAS CREATED BY A SMALL GROUP OF FRIENDS AND HAS TURNED INTO THE MOST REWARDING WORK I HAVE EVER DONE. WE ALL STARTED OUT AS STRANGERS, ALL FIGHTING THE SAME FIGHT, AND NOW WE HAVE BECOME FAMILY. WE CRY WITH EACH OTHER, WE CHECK UP ON EACH OTHER, AND WE LAUGH WITH EACH OTHER. THE WORK WE DO IS HARD BUT IT IS WORTH EVERY SECOND. THEY SAY WE ARE NEVER GIVEN MORE THAN WE CAN HANDLE, AND I HAVE QUESTIONED THAT FAMOUS QUOTE FOR YEARS NOW. HOWEVER, I KNOW NOW THAT WITHOUT THIS TERRIBLE DISEASE, WE ALL WOULD NEVER HAVE MET, AND WHAT A TERRIBLE LOSS THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN. THANK YOU TO ONE WORLD GROUP FOR SUPPORTING AND GIVING POSSIBLE SUPPORT NEEDED. I LOVE YOU ALL AND THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS MOTHER’S WISH COME TRUE! LAURA

Thank you Laureen for flexing your muscles and showing  your support to those dealing with Crohn’s disease. Congrats on your big win! Laureen placed 1st place in her age group!!!! WOW!

  CAROLINE,  A YOUNG LADY WITH CROHN’S DISEASE AND HER FRIEND EMMA TAKE THEIR PASSION TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND SELL HOME MADE CUPCAKES!!! THAT’S THE WAY TO RAISE AWARENESS GIRLS!

We are so excited to announce a very important event that we will be having at the studio on April 15th!  While we realize this email is lengthy, please take two minutes to read as this event is very personal to us as a family. 

In January 2016 our youngest son Carter was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease when he was just 5.  While it is incredibly difficult to hear that your son will live with a chronic incurable illness for the rest of his life, there have been so many positive things to come out of his experience and one of them is the amazing support system we have gained in the process.  My wife, Heather, was lucky enough to be connected with other Crohn’s moms in the area through the non profit organization A Mother’s Wish.  This amazing group of women have given our family support in a time of uncertainty and we would like to give back that support.  

We will be having free classes starting a 9 am on Saturday April 15th.  While these classes are free, we ask that you bring a minimum $10 dollar cash or check donation with you to class.  Any and all donations we receive will go directly to A Mother’s Wish for them to use to support other families in our immediate community that suffer from Crohn’s.  Your donations for A Mother’s Wish will also help fund research so that one day we may find a cure for adults and kids like Carter.

Classes that day are as follows:

9 am – Kettlebell

10 am – POUND

11 am – FIT HIIT

12 pm – FIT Kids

In addition, we will have healthy whole foods snacks which are favorites for our family and other families we have met along this journey.  Heather I will be here to talk about nutrition, and the whole foods based way of life we have adopted since Carter’s diagnosis.  There will also be a few adult beverages for you to enjoy after class!

We will also be raffling off three very special gifts including a ticket to A Mother’s Wish Casino Night Gala in October, A 10 class package from metamorFIT AND A FREE SIT IN ON THE PRESTON AND STEVE SHOW! 

We are also so excited to announce that Preston from WMMR’s Preston and Steve show will be in the studio at12 pm!

If you cannot make it to a class, please consider stopping by to meet members of A Mother’s Wish and the metamorFIT family, to purchase some tickets, to enter yourself into the raffles, or to meet Preston!

We really look forward to seeing you all on April 15th!  Please see the flyer below for more information.  You can register for classes by going to our website at www.metamorfitllc.com.

Event announcement!
Stay tuned for details on our next big event on April 15th! Come get FIT while raising money for A Mother’s Wish at metamorFIT in Collegeville, PA! Save the date! Many more details to follow!

It is with great pride that Heather Wickersham has chosen to be a part of this amazing group and to apply her terrific social media skills to our efforts. Please welcome Heather and her family and friends with open arms to join us in this journey!

We are thrilled more than words can express that we have crossed paths with you and your family!

Warmly,

A Mother’s Wish
