Better Sweat Foundation Stories of Hope
Each year, we raise funds to help families-in-the-making take one step closer to their dream. These are their stories—stories of perseverance, love, and the unbreakable spirit of those who refuse to give up.

The grant helped ease the financial burden & helped ease our minds. After meeting with Matt & Lynn, we both felt weight lifted off our shoulders.

At The Better Sweat Foundation, we believe in the power of hope, resilience, and community.
What started as a simple idea in 2017—a workout fundraiser to support a random local couple’s fertility journey—has since grown into a movement of strength, support, and giving. Over the years, we’ve been able to provide financial assistance & encouragement to couples navigating the emotional & financial challenges of fertility treatments. These are just some of the amazing stories from our grant efforts over the years, the proof that together, we can turn sweat into something truly life-changing.
Jessica & Andrew
“In 2019, we were ready to build our family. Unfortunately, our journey to parenthood was filled with loss & heartache. Dr. Orris & the Main Line Fertility team were determined to get us our baby. We started with several medicated cycles & IUI procedures. After another devastating miscarriage, we knew IVF was our next step. Neither of us had fertility coverage, so we prepared ourselves for the huge cost of treatment. In 2021, we are so thankful we found Matt, Lynn, and the Bent On Better team. We were selected to receive their yearly grant. The generosity & support we received from the B.O.B. team was incredible. The grant made it possible for us to undergo IVF treatment. After a many year fertility journey, we were blessed with a healthy baby boy in July, 2022. To all of the families also on their fertility journey & trying to start or grow their family, we are rooting for you.”
Steve & Amy
“We went through four years of infertility treatments, with a few heartbreaking results. Despite experiencing feelings of hopelessness & frustration, we remained determined to bring a child into the world. Our family is forever grateful for getting involved with Bent on Better and the Sweat For A Cause fundraiser. The workout was a blast, and Matt brings his unique brand of energy & creativity so that everyone, regardless of fitness level, can participate fully. The memories & friendships we made that day gave us the lift we needed to press on. We wouldn’t have our beautiful children, Erin and Jack, if not for the passion and encouragement Matt, Lynn, and the entire Bent On Better community gave us.”
Krista & Michelle
“Before applying for the grant, we had been going through fertility treatments, unsuccessfully, for over 2 years. We were about tapped out – emotionally, mentally & certainly financially – and ready to give up. Being selected for the Sweat for a Cause grant gave us another chance & we will forever be grateful. It allowed us to continue our journey which brought us our son, Luca, making our family complete. Luca is now a happy, healthy & hilarious 3-year-old. He brings a ton of energy & joy into our home — and loves making his mommies laugh on a daily basis! The work that Matt, Lynn & the whole Bent On Better (& Better Sweat Foundation) team do for infertility awareness & fundraising is amazing. And their unrelenting positivity & understanding of the journey made it that much better. Again, thank you so much!!”
