We are so honored to be able to help Giuliana Rancic heal in comfort and dignity after a mastectomy in her brave battle against breast cancer.
I am always so thankful when people take the time to send me a little email during such a stressful time,
An email I received today…
Dear Cherie, Just wanted you to know that I ordered your shirt for my mom last week, she received it Saturday and had her mastectomy this past Wednesday. She had looked everywhere for something to wear in Clearwater, FL and found nothing. I looked on-line and found your site and promptly ordered from you. She has received so many compliments from the nurses and staff and says the shirt is “Perfect”…comfy, easy to put on and the pockets make the drainage bags much more manageable. She looks forward to using the lanyard and the little apron. Thank you so much for making these available. She is passing your website information on to the nurses. Thank you thank you!

Hey Cherie,
It was great meeting you last week at the High Heel Happy Hour! I had my mammogram yesterday and proudly wore my Support Crew pink bracelet.
Last night I went to Jarrell to accept a check from the volunteer firefighters and as you can see from the picture, I was wearing my Support Crew bracelet!
Thanks so much for all that you do for the women in our area! The shirts rock and so do you!
Thank You,

Cherie Mathews: Kicking Cancer’s Ass
“I’m trying to kick cancer’s ass,” Cherie Mathews said. Mathews was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2000 at the age of 40 and eventually underwent a double mastectomy, but Mathews doesn’t feel sorry for herself. In fact, she is mad at breast cancer, and she’s fighting back.
Mathews is helping Austin women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer heal comfortably through her specially designed healincomfort shirts. A project that stemmed from a lesson learned the hard way after a painful recovery after surgery. She is also keeping morale high through her annual Support Crew motorcycle rides she organizes with Cowboy Harley.
We raised enough money to provide for 50 local breast cancer patients. BCRC will be the recipients so they can give to our women in the battle.
