Mettle Ops is named in honor of Bret Bigelow. Bret contracted food poisoning before he was born and barely survived. Bret lived six years, enduring countless medical procedures. His miracle was his unwavering tenacity; he smiled when pain was unbearable, and faced uncertainty with honor and strength.

 

We remember a boy who had greater mettle than any other person we have known. His memory drives us to do better every day.
