Mitch’s Wish! A day with the Green Bay Packers! Mitch and his family traveled to Green Bay in October and Mitch’s wish was fulfilled. Hannah’s Hope for Life is proud to be a sponsor of his wish. Mitch and his family had a great time. Jj (Mitch’s Mom) shared with us a few highlights and pictures. Thank you Martel family for allowing us to be a part of it all.
“Thank you again from Mitchell and all of us for this amazing experience. I know I don’t need to explain to you how important it is that Mitchell had something so exciting to look forward to. We got the news that he was able to get a wish during one of the most difficult times of his treatment, he was so very sick in picu and it was very scary. They told him he needed to start thinking about something he wanted to wish for and when he was healthy he would be able to do it. I swear the next day I saw such an improvement in him, it makes me so happy still today to know that Hannah and your family had so much to do with that!! I can never Thank you enough!!! “
So Green Bay, wow I get goose bumps every time I think back on this unforgettable trip. “We all had so much fun and I tell you The team and coach and all the people involved in the packer organization are Great people. So friendly, and giving! After speaking to Mitchell he told me that the thing he will never forget is getting able to walk down the tunnel, just like the team, with the music playing, a crowd cheering, and then the door opened and he was there standing on Flambeau field. He loved that!! Mitchell also really enjoyed meeting the team and Coach MacCarthy, we met the coach at practice and he brought him to the team introduced him to the team and he got to lead the final cheer and breakdown for the end of practice! Then it was off to lunch in the team cafeteria, which included conversation and autographs with most of the team members!!! Korey Hall was a great Host as well he made sure we got first class treatment and that all his teammates went and spoke with Mitchell! Then the “Game”, Mitchell really enjoyed the game, he still smiles, we all had sideline passes for pre game and got to watch the team warm up for the game. It was Cool. The best part was Aaron Roders walked up to the sidelines during pre game warm ups and walked right up to Mitch shook his hand and put his arm around him and told him thank you for coming!!! AMAZING!!!! Those pictures are still on the Green Bay packer website under the pictures for that particular game.” www.packers.com
“The whole experience was absolutely unforgettable!!! The thing I will never forget is seeing Mitchell smile like he smiled the whole time we were in Green Bay, it was like he was never sick and he did not have anything stressful to think about!!! Thank you for that!!!”
