Let $ABC$ be a triangle with $AB=13$, $BC=14$, and $AC=15$. Let $M$ be the midpoint of $BC$ and let $\Gamma$ be the circle passing through $A$ and tangent to line $BC$ at $M$. Let $\Gamma$ intersect lines $AB$ and $AC$ at points $D$ and $E$, respectively, and let $N$ be the midpoint of $DE$. Suppose line $MN$ intersects lines $AB$ and $AC$ at points $P$ and $O$, respectively. If the ratio $MN:NO:OP$ can be written in the form $a:b:c$ with $a,b,c$ positive integers satisfying $\gcd(a,b,c)=1$, find $a+b+c$.
