Moreover, the charity organization draws its motivation from the memory of Pattie’s first son. Adam was the son of Pattie and Kyle, and he died during a training session. His car developed throttle issues and crashed. Although people tried rushing him to the hospital, the damage to his skull led to his death.

However, an incident where the collected money got lost led people to blame Pattie, forcing her to resign from her CEO position. She was kicked out of the camp when she was ill in 2011 as other executives took advantage of her situation to kick her out.
