PLANO, TX--(Marketwire - December 20, 2007) - As successful entrepreneurs
and founders of Wellness International Network, Ltd., a company recognized for
its results-oriented nutritional supplements like the BioLean System, Ralph Oats
and his wife, Cathy feel blessed to have achieved healthier living and financial
independence. Because of their modest beginnings, they understand the difference
a helping hand can make for those who aren't as fortunate.
During WIN's 2007 Gala Awards Els and Paul Gebbink, along with many other
distributors from the Netherlands, surprised Cathy and Ralph Oats with a
presentation of their donation of 147 wheelchairs to the Wheelchair Foundation
on behalf of Cathy and Ralph Oats. It was a moving and emotional moment for
everyone in attendance, as they were honored to receive such a precious gift.
The Wheelchair Foundation is a nonprofit organization leading an international
effort to create awareness of the needs and abilities of people with physical
disabilities, to promote the joy of giving, create global friendship, and to
deliver a wheelchair to every child, teen and adult in the world that needs one,
but cannot afford one. For these people, the Wheelchair Foundation delivers
Hope, Mobility and Freedom.
"We are happy to have such a large network of great people that have the means
and desire to help others and we're so proud of our Dutch distributors who
continue to help those in need," says Ralph Oats. Wellness International Network
is committed to helping others achieve financial freedom along with mental and
physical wellness with its phenomenal product line, including its omega-3
supplement, WINOmeg3complex, and BioLean II. Each year at the Anniversary Gala
celebration, a Giving Back award is presented to distributors who have
demonstrated the generosity of spirit that comes from giving of their time,
effort and resources to those who are less fortunate.
Over the years, Wellness International Network and its distributors have
supported organizations such as the American Red Cross, Habitat For Humanity,
Hearts Together For Haiti, St. Jude Children's Hospital, the Susan G. Komen
Breast Cancer Foundation and many more.
