"Hunt Of A Lifetime" is a nonprofit organization with a mission to grant hunting & fishing adventures and dreams for children age 21 and under, who have been diagnosed with life threatening illnesses. We are doing what we can to make a difference in their life, a dream come true.

To make all their dreams come true, we need your help. If you are interested in helping a child live their dream, please contact us for more information.

I just want to say thank you to all the folks that encouraged me to begin the Hunt of a Lifetime foundation. To my son Matt, and the life he lived loving the outdoors to the fullest, and passing on to others what hunting & fishing meant to him. Don Fetteroff of the Safari Club International Pittsburgh, PA Chapter for achieving what he thought was impossible, in March of 1998 he found a moose hunt for Matt for the fall of 1998. The Safari Outfitters of Cody, Wyoming for finding an outfitter. Most importantly, Clayton & Gene Grosso of Grosso Outfitters, Nordegg, Alberta Canada, Gene's wife Becky for taking the time to go along with them to be their cook & medic. The village of Nordegg, Alberta Canada for all they did to make Matt's dream a reality. There are people everywhere helping youngsters that are in need and they helped give so many children can experience a Hunt of A Lifetime.
Forever Grateful.....God Bless

The Story Of Matthew Pattison

By: Tina Pattison

My beautiful, sweet Matthew was diagnosed with a cancer that most of the time is curable, but not in his case. He had a rare type that multiplied faster than normal.

The treatments were harsh and I prayed to God that there might be a way for me to ease my boy's suffering. After a second bout in February 1998, Matthew underwent a stem cell transplant. As I waited for the procedure to come to a close, I once again turned my thoughts to God and His comforting embrace. I prayed that this treatment would be the end, that his doctors would, come to me and smile and tell me that the cancer was gone. What I prayed for most was the will to be strong for both myself and Matthew, to stand as a pillar for the both of us when Matthew was too weak to even sit up in bed. I prayed the prayer that every mother prays when she is in this wretched situation I prayed that there might be some way to ease my son's pain.
