Countdown, to Christmas

Everything I have been doing lately still brings me closer to sharing with you my love of a style that is comfortable and high quality but just through circumstance my F--- Cancer tee's seem to have taken on a life of their own.

It has been the busiest couple of weeks, but in short I have 2 fabulous cancer tee's off to print and I couldn't be more excited.

Melanoma (Skin Cancer)

An excerpt from the Melanoma-Cancer Council NSW website:

Melanoma statistics

  • Australia and New Zealand have the highest rates of melanoma in the world.
  • More than 10,000 people are diagnosed in Australia each year.
  • It is the fourth most common cancer in both men and women (10% of all cancer diagnoses).
  • It is the most common type of cancer in young Australians aged 15-44 (20% of all cases).
  • One in 19 Australians will be diagnosed with melanoma before age 85.
Not surprising considering the life style so many of us live here.

On the tee an image of a melanoma cell with a very subtle message around it. Subtle enough for the most sensitive of eyes!


Brain Cancer

An excerpt from the Brain Cancer-Cancer Council NSW website:


Worryingly little is known about this disease, other than some devastating statistics:
  • Not only is brain cancer the leading cause of cancer death for young people under the age of 39 and children under 10, it carries the highest financial burden of all cancers
  • In its malignant form it is almost 100% fatal
  • It is one of the most under-studied of all cancers
  • Around 1600 people a year will be diagnosed with brain cancer in Australia, approximately 1200 will pass away
  • One person is diagnosed with brain cancer every 6 hours in Australia, every 8 hours one will pass away
There aren't many people you speak to these days who haven't been somehow touched by this insidious disease.

So my small contribution is this:

Buy a Cancer tee for $35.00 and I will donate $5.00 from every sale to the following charities:

http://www.melanoma.org.au

...if you purchase a Melanoma Cell Tee

http://www.curebraincancer.org.au

...if you purchase a Brain X-ray tee

The tee's are 95% cotton and 5% spandex V-neck and they come in sizes 10, 12, 14 and 16.  They are a ladies tee and I can vouch that they wash and wear very well (even if you use your drier for drying)!

A small $5.00 postage fee will be added to your order if you require the tee to be sent out or I am happy to arrange collection or drop off (if you are in the 2110/2111 post code area).

This Saturday 6 December, I'm heading off to the Shitbox Rally Christmas Party Cancer Fundraiser and I'll be wearing my tee with pride and happily "sticking it" to cancer!

If you help me to help these charities you can be sure you will be buying  a comfortable, quality, uniquely branded tee that will go a long way to helping 2 cancer's gain a little extra cash to help fund their research and bring awareness to cancer's that don't necessarily get the awareness they should!

Wear then well everyone!!!!!!!!!
