June 30th has been designated AMC Awareness Day. To commemorate the occasion and do our part in raising awareness and understanding of arthrogryposis, Team Analise has designed a commemorative tshirt with an adorable picture of Analise on the front, and some helpful information about arthrogryposis on the back.
Just think...you will be expanding awareness of arthrogryposis when you are wearing Analise's t-shirt just by standing in line at the grocery store!! We are working with some real design pros so we are confident our t-shirt will be stylish as well as informative.
We are still finalizing the design. Below is a preliminary design of the front of the t-shirt. We are working with our nephew Ricky's family business, Cypress Printing. The very patient, poor soul that is coordinating this project (not that we are compulsive or anything
) is Jessy, our niece. They will be changing the font that we have below, and we think it will turn out really nice. As soon as we have the final design, we will post it on the blog and on Facebook. We plan on designing a t-shirt each year to celebrate AMC Awareness Day and donate the proceeds from the t-shirts to Analise to support her ongoing medical care and related travel.
The t-shirts this year will cost $15 each and will be "athletic blue". It is an unisex t-shirt so for men, you order the usual size tshirt you wear in men's t-shirts, and for a woman, order a size smaller than you would usually wear in women's t-shirts (http://www.tscapparel.com/product/0254am/a-triblend-track-tee-hg-xs.html).
Please send us an email with your order.
You can send your Paypal payment to us at richandmarti@yahoo.com ,
or send us a check if you don't have a Paypal account.
You can order your t-shirts now through Sunday, June 10th
to give us enough time to order/print the t-shirts
and get them to you before June 30th.
The informative back-of-the-t-shirt (sample only, not to scale):
Arthrogryposis (ar'-thrō-grī-pō'-sis)
