"Hunt Of A Lifetime" is a nonprofit organization with a mission to grant hunting & fishing dreams for children age 21 and under, who have been diagnosed with life threatening illnesses or life threatening disabilities. We are doing what we can to make a difference in their life, a dream come true. But we need your help, we are looking for people interested in helping the kids live their dreams, without you, we can't give them the dreams they so desire.
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.

If you are interested in helping a child live their dream, please contact us for more information. Even a small donation can help us towards the kids dreams.


Forever Grateful.....God Bless

The Story Of Matthew Pattison

By: Tina Pattisonmat

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.
