I just want to put up a quick post to thank all of you who have been buying all of the different T-shirts lately. (Everyday I am at the post office mailing shirts!!) One person even bought 24 to take to a breast cancer support group with her sister.... The response from all of you has been great. Thank you for coming through once again to support OCF. We are almost at a break even point on the money to produce these, and after that it goes to support the actual work of the foundation. You guys are great!!

I bought 3 of the t-shirts & we love them! The 1st day Bob wore his "Survivor" shirt, a man stopped him on a store parking lot & asked where he could get one for his wife! That night Bob wore the shirt to his cancer support group & the other members loved it too! The shirts serve many purposes, including making survivors smile!

We have just called the Slik Screen company to run another batch of the Lance T shirts.... and I was afraid we wouldn't sell them all before the Tour de France in July!

I thank all those who have participated in this project with your ideas and with your purchases. It has raised funds for OCF that were really needed right now. We are out of stock on a couple of sizes until Monday.

I continue to be completely amazed by all of you. What a terrific group of people. I'm off to look at and purchase shirts of my own. :-)

Got Dad a Lance shirt for Father's Day and I got myself the "size of the fight in the dog" shirt and we wear them together to treatments on Mondays when we see the RO. I'm spreading the literature and the buttons around the treatment center waiting room, the dentist's office, etc., too. ALL the shirts and OCF products are super, so don't just order the Lance, which is time limited, order lots of goodies!

The Lance shirts are on eBay now and we're beginging to get orders for them. With the tour starting in less than 2 weeks, Lance is in the news more and more. I think this will only draw attention to the eBay auctions. While the price is the same, we do slightly better financially on the ones bought in our own store, since we don't have PayPal fees and eBay fees. Next month when we are registered with eBay's Missionfish program, these fees will be less. But I put this information up here to let you all know that we probabnly won't run the Lance shirts again, since I don't want to have OCF's $$ out there on something that there probably isn't a market for after the Tour de France ends. So if you want them.... you had better step up now while we still have all sizes in stock. Next month we will put the Survivor shirts up on eBay, and those we can run indefinately as they are not tied to a particular event. (or until the survivor TV show goes away...which given its high ratings won't be any time soon.)
