Let me share with you a story from our inaugural camp at Adventureland NY, in Middletown, NY this past August 2023...

We had families join us from all over the United States, from states as far as Alaska, Washington, Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts. In a gathering filled with courage and hope, Matt Scoletti stood before 14 families, each navigating the challenges of JM. He led the children in a powerful chant, a mantra of resilience: “I will not quit on myself… I will not quit on my health… I will not quit on my family.” His voice, firm with conviction, echoed through the camp, igniting a fire of determination in every heart.

But it was more than just words. As the volume rose, “I will never give up” became not just a statement, but a pledge – a shared promise among these young warriors. In that moment, every child, every parent felt a surge of strength and unity. Tears of hope and pride glistened in the eyes of many parents, witnessing their children embrace a newfound sense of empowerment.

This was not just a motivational speech. It was a transformational experience that transcended the boundaries of our camp. It was a reminder to these brave souls that they are not alone, that their struggles are shared and their spirits unbreakable.

Together, with your support and generosity, we can continue to provide these life-changing experiences, fostering bonds and resilience in the face of adversity. Join us in our mission to uplift, empower, and inspire – because together, we can make a world of difference in the lives of children with Juvenile Myositis.
