From “For Pete’s Sake, Walk 2012″

“Showing gratitude is one of the simplest yet most powerful things humans can do for each other” -Randy Pausch, The Last Lecture

I want to take a moment to show my gratitude and thank everyone that supported the 2nd Annual For Pete’s Sake, Walk! You took precious time from your lives and paid it forward to help other families like mine have the opportunity to take a break from cancer!

My cancer warrior (my husband Eric), our friends, family and I were honored to walk amongst people who have personally touched our lives so deeply. With every donation to FPS, no matter how big or small, you have made a difference. You have given something to brave men and women that is so much deeper than any words can express. You have given families the opportunity to make lasting memories, and for one glorious week, you let them simply live. You have supported the belief that love is greater than cancer!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Every dollar we raised will help FPS continue to improve the quality of life for those who need something to smile about!

With endless gratitude,

Jeaneane Dial, wife of FPS traveler, Eric Dial

 

We Made History:

We stand together, or we fall apart. http://www.bcwap.org/2012/03/21/all-for-one-and-one-for-all-we-stand-together-or-we-fall-apart/ http://www.bcwap.org/2012/03/21/all-for-one-and-one-for-all-we-stand-together-or-we-fall-apart/#comments Wed, 21 Mar 2012 12:40:29 +0000 admin http://www.bcwap.org/?p=925 Elite is my business, how I make a living, how I pay the bills.

Boot Camps With a Purpose is something I made up in my head one day, a way everyone, anyone can make a difference by coming to workouts given by volunteer trainers to raise money and awareness for good causes and charities.

Elite has grown to Elite Corporate Fitness which has now spread to different places around The Philadelphia area, and now just recently has joined forces with trainers in places as far away as Canada and America’s Mid-West.

Here’s Elite:

www.TrainAtElite.com

Here is Boot Camps With a Purpose:

www.BCWAP.org

The stronger and more wide-spread Elite becomes, the stronger BCWAP becomes. My dream is to travel the world and give free workouts to make people aware of things they wouldn’t pay attention to otherwise, like getting a yearly breast check-up.

If I were to travel from now till I died, for say maybe another 40 years, EVERY DAY, giving a boot camp telling people to get health exams, to get their kids checkups, and to adopt a pet from shelters, and in that FOURTY YEARS, OF EVERY DAY, 365 DAYS TIMES 40 , FOURTEEN THOUSAND, SIX HUNDRED DAYS, ALL THOSE DAYS. Just one person caught their breast cancer in time so their children didn’t lose their mom, one child’s cancer was caught in time so one set of parents didn’t have to bury their child, and JUST ONE pet wasn’t put to sleep, but FOUND A HOME. Just one of each of those three, JUST ONE. Then my life has been more than a success, it’s been a triple home run doozy of a success.

So I’m going to keep working to make this dream come true. It’s going to happen. And the guy that was called a loser by many people, from college professors to prison guards, that guy, he will be a WINNER. That guy’s me. I’m Matt. And I own, operate, and started from scratch, Elite Personal Training Studio, Corporate Fitness, Boot Camps, and Boot Camps With a Purpose, all of these you can add with all honesty, the word “INTERNATIONAL” to, and if there’s a word “Multi-International”, ADD IT. Because they all are. Worldwide, operating, and functioning, making a difference.

I’m not saying all these things to boast or brag, just to show that guy in the spot maybe I was in not so long ago, I just want to show someone who’s having a hard time, just say to them, DON’T GIVE UP. Don’t back down. Stand up. Be proud. Be you. Be strong and hard and live right , live well. Wake up every day knowing you have as much a chance to become whoever you want to be as anyone else. Just keep FIGHTING. Fight like you’ve never fought before. I MEAN REALLY REALLY REALLY FIGHT ALL OUT. Everything to the wall. All you got. Do it. I’m with you. I have you all the way with all my heart and soul. With everything I have inside me, I pray, cheer, root, and I fight inside myself with fire like you’ve never seen. Be the warrior you were born to be. The only one stopping you is YOU. Don’t let it happen. Don’t let ANYTHING stop you. EVER. I want you to fight, stand up, make it, and then, if you can, go back and help someone else out of their hole. If you’re not able to physically help someone out of their hole, then lead by example, let others see who you are, and warm their heart with your spirit and example.

So wherever you are in your journey, behind me, beside me, or ahead of me, keep pushing my brothers and sisters, keep pushing through this battle we call life. Make it through. I feel you and your energy. Keep it going. Never stop.

-Matt

MatthewSgro@gmail.com
484-319-7829

The Make a Difference Fitness Birthday Party…

The kids will be hitting a mean looking man while wearing boxing gloves, and punching him, AND getting filmed doing this. There will also be filming of a group Boot Camp Super Fun Workout, followed by pinata breaking by the group, and a special “One Hit” pinata for the birthday girl or boy to be filmed breaking. All this will be filmed and photographed if approved by the parents.

Each kid’s video will be individually put on Elite’s Fitness Charity’s Website and YouTube for them to view and show their friends, parents, grandparents, teachers, and kids at school.

Each kid will have a choice of 4 charities chosen by the birthday boy or girl. They will work to get people to donate to their charity in their name. The tax deductible donations will be accepted by Elite’s sister company, the 501c-3 non-profit Fitness Charity, Boot Camps With a Purpose, on it’s website, www.BCWAP.org.  All the kid’s videos will be on the website with a donate button for each of them to have people easily donate under their name.

A representative of all 4 of the charities will be at Elite in Exton two weeks after the party to accept a check from each kid for the amount they collected. Each child is filmed for the www.BCWAP.org website as well as YouTube.

THIS, is what it’s all about. THIS, is what fuels my fire. THIS, is why I get up out of bed when things are hard, when times are tough, when I want to sleep in. THIS, is why I work to push Elite to become a household name. THIS, is why Elite WILL be a household  name.

To give B.C.W.A.P. everything it needs to be in every city, in every town, helping those who need it, feeding the hungry, housing the pets we as humans have made homeless, helping those who roam the streets confused, needing help and not getting it from a system that time and time again has proven itself inneffective. THIS, will turn things around and help the system become effective.

To those who don’t get it. To those who don’t realize we’re all in this together, to those who don’t know the amazing feeling you get inside when you help another person, B.C.W.A.P. is here to show you.

THIS, is what I do with myself to feel good about myself. Helping others makes you forget about yourself. It takes you outside of yourself and makes you forget about all your problems. It’s the cure to so many ailments and maladies. Help another. Watch your depression wash away. Feel your anger subside. Experience something there is no other word for but good.

Never forget where you came from.
Give back when you can.

484-319-7829

Stay Humble.
Help Others.

If you’re out there and having a hard time, if things don’t look so good, know there are people out there pulling for you. There are people out there who you may look at and think they have it all. They suffer too, maybe more than you do inside.

Again, there’s a cure to it all. Help someone. Find a cause, throw yourself into it, be someone you’d like to meet, someone you think is really cool because they’re out there DOING something about the things most just complain about.

I’ll be at Citizen’s Bank Park on April 22nd from 9am to noon living my dream of giving a Boot Camp Workout while around 2,000 people walk around the track in support of “For Pete’s Sake” Cancer Respite. An amazing cause and organization dedicated to helping those families fighting cancer together.

It just so happens to be Earth Day that day. It just so happens to be my birthday that day. Coincidence? Maybe. Will you come out and support? I sure hope so.

God Bless. Rock and Roll. Hope to see you Sunday.

Spread the word among your friends, family, neighbors and co-workers. I would love to be able to have enough people to warrant two sessions – one at 9:00 AM and one at 10:00 AM. Please help me make that happen.

Donation is $20 or $20 or more in sponsor donations. Sponsor sheets are available at Body & Soul Fitness Studio.

If you can’t work out with us, please consider being a sponsor.

The workout will last approximately 45 minutes, including warmup and cooldown.

All fitness levels are invited. Exercises will be adapted or substituted, as necessary. Anyone 12 and older is welcome to participate.

Knowing how many people will be attending helps me design the best workout so, if possible, please let me know ahead of time that you’re coming. However, if you decide last minute that’s great, too. Raising as much money as possible is obviously the goal.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to call me.
