September is Pediatric, Gynecological, and Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month

September is a very somber month for us at 4Craig. One of the our family members had pediatric cancer - acute lymphoblastic leukemia. He had it three times actually. So when Pediatric (childhood, as some call it) Cancer Awareness Month comes around, we try to make others aware. Because kids are still diagnosed with cancer every day around the world and kids are still dying from cancer.

Thankfully, for the 4Craig family, we survived it and are thriving. But there are others who weren't so fortunate. So it is for all the warriors, survivors, and those in heaven that have had to fight this dreaded disease we made this design.


That link actually takes you to an Amazon page with different versions of this t-shirt design. It has options for mom, dad, sister, brother, warrior, survivor, nurse, child life staff. Gold is the color of childhood cancer ribbons, but we decided to make the design in various shades of golden yellow because it prints better. It is a large ribbon made up of smaller ribbons, hearts, and suns.

September is also Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. Although, we don't have personal experience with this cancer, our hearts are saddened that people are fighting it too. Teal is the color for ovarian cancer, so we made a teal watercolor design of the same shirt.

Yes, ovarian cancer is part of woman's gynecological cancers. But we decided to make two different shirts so they can choose. I hope you like these design. Sometimes women's gynecological cancers get forgotten about because pink for breast cancer awareness starts showing up in September. But lets give these ones their due. These cancers can be called silent cancers because there aren't too many signs that it's growing in your body. So the more awareness the better.


If you think there is a market for more than these shirts -- such as you would like to see a nurse ovarian cancer shirt, comment below and we'll see what we can do for you. Also, we can make these in different colored shirts too.
