Our submissions for September’s Pic of the Month contest were once again nothing short of extraordinary. We are always humbled to see everyone proudly wearing their new custom shirts and the smiles that they bring. We had to narrow it down to just one winner and that was no easy task. That said, we got it done, and we congratulate Sarah C. from Woodstock, Georgia, for winning our September Pic of the Month contest and a $100 UGP custom apparel gift card!!
Here at Underground Printing, we love hearing all of the inspirational stories behind the shirts we print! Here’s Sarah’s story: “Jack was diagnosed with ALL leukemia on October 21, 2020 and here is his story... We thought he had a broken leg and ended up in the Urgent Care. He was moonwalking across the living room and tripped over a little orange bouncy ball. After an X-ray he was put in a splint and had an appointment set up with the orthopedist the following Monday. However; Sunday morning he developed a 105 degree fever and we ended up in the pediatrician's office instead of the orthopedist Monday morning. So blood work was done to see if an infection was causing the high fevers and we were promptly rushed to the Children's Health Care of Atlanta emergency room. His white blood cell counts were triple what they should be. After numerous tests and scans it was determined that he had leukemia. He never even had a broken leg, just intense leg pain from the cancer and the X-ray was showing a cluster of leukemia cells. To say the least the wind was knocked out of us! The worst 4 words a parent never wants to hear were spoken to us, "your child has cancer". We spent 21 days in the hospital and that was tough. We were stressed, scared, lost but ready to fight. Jack has a 2 year treatment plan and is on month 10. He has a long road ahead of him but he is doing great!! We would love for everyone to support Team Jack Jack and rep with one of our shirts!!! Also, we are putting together our Team Jack Jack for the Relay for Life walk in October in Kennesaw.”
It’s also a bonus when our sales staff receives positive feedback from customers, especially when they’re from amazing people like Sarah. We’re so glad that Sarah had such an easy experience ordering with UGP. She remarked, “It was awesome, Josh rocks!!!!” Sarah’s story is truly an inspiration and we are looking forward to being there for her next order of shirts. Sending all of our love and support to Jack, he’s got this!
