Kindra and I are both sporting our "Save Ashlyn" shirts today. You may remember Ashlyn's senior portraits we posted last summer.Late in the summer Ashlyn found out she had leukemia and has been going through chemo for the past few months and is now in remission.
Today Ashlyn is having a bone marrow transplant from her sister, Hayley (what a hero of a sister!) We are wearing our "Save Ashlyn" t-shirts in support; what's really cool is that there is a Facebook group that Ashlyn's family started to gather photographs of everyone wearing their "Save Ashlyn" shirts.
T-Shirts were designed and printed by Smash in Des Moines and I understand that they donated the graphic for the family to use. (Of course, its a spoof of the famous water tower in Ferris Bueller's Day Off.)
Update (1/23 3:30 pm - via Facebook): Danny says the transplant is complete. All went well with Ashlyn. Hayley had a pretty rough go but is slowly getting better. Hayley is a HERO!

What a wonderful t-shirt. I don't have one but will be lifting Ashlyn up in my prayers! Thanks for posting on it.

You might still be able to purchase T-Shirts - they had some left a week or two ago when we got ours.
