The Other Hunger Crisis - Start the Conversation


May 1st 2016...

On this first day of May, I have one thing on my mind...starting a conversation about PWS with others.  I want PWS to be known, and not something that people look at me perplexed and puzzled and say, "What is that?" or "Hummm, I've never heard of that."  Do I think that it will be as known as cancer, down syndrome, or autism?  No, but each are super important and affect beautiful individuals that deserve to live their lives out to the fullest.



So, how can we make PWS known...

Buy a t-shirt

Wear it proudly

Tell a story


And the word will get out that we HAVE to end "The Other Hunger Crisis" NOW. Research holds the key to ending this other crisis, and a substantial portion of funds raised from this t-shirt blitz will go directly to fund top notch PWS research.  High quality research WILL lead to more effective treatments and an eventual cure for the hunger portion of this disorder.



Our family will be selling the SUPER soft and comfortable shirts you see pictured above Thursday 4/28 - Thursday 5/5.  Once sizes are submitted, the shirts will be to me within a week and delivered or shipped to you.  This way you will be able to wear them during the last several weeks of May and beyond.  

Pricing:  $12 (Youth XS - Adult XL)
               $14 (Adult 2XL & 3XL)
               Love a great DEAL?  Buy 2 shirts for $20 (add $2 to 2XL & 3XL)
               Shipping:  shoot me an email, text or message to work out shipping 
               gwynspearman@gmail.com or 864-909-2721

Payment: Cash, check (made out to Gwyn Spearman) or PayPal (gwynspearman@gmail.com)


So, you've ordered your shirt(s).  When it arrives, wear it proudly because each shirt tells a story.

  • Your shirt may tell the story of a little 4 year old girl with blue glasses who likes to know every person's name, has a huge affinity for Kelly Ripa, Michael Strahan, and all the individuals on the Today Show, and waits eagerly to hear her name called over the walkie talkie at the end of the school day to see who will walk her out to her car.
  • It may tell the story of precious 1 year old little boy who is headed into surgery for what seems like the hundredth time to his parents, but through it all he remains strong, smiles at everyone, and shows us what brave looks like.
  • Or maybe yours tells the story of a young woman putting on her boxing gloves everyday to fight her "monster," showing us that it is a battle that she will fight hard and WIN. 


Oh, the stories...

What is the one that is deepest to your heart?

They each make PWS known and shine a light on a rare disease that needs to be talked about.  Funds need to be raised, people need to be educated, and a cure needs to be found...for the Other Hunger Crisis.  

Go tell that story...



Oh, and p.s. - we've already gotten 127 orders for shirts....127!!!!!  #winning
