What is I Refuse?

 

Epidermolysis Bullosa, EB, is a devastating connective tissue disorder that affects 1 in 50,000 live births. There are children and adults who face the challenges of EB every day.  The slightest amount of friction, even the softest of touches can cause severe and excruciatingly painful blisters. There is no cure. Many of these children do not make it to their first birthday and if they do survive, their days are spent bandaged from head to toe, full of constant pain and suffering the many complications that come with EB.

We are dedicated to raising awareness,  being a voice for those affected, promoting advocacy and supporting the research efforts taking place at the University of Minnesota by Dr. Jakub Tolar through Pioneering Unique Cures for Kids.  This research is so incredibly critical and it has been a privilege to have the opportunity to support Dr. Tolar and his team.    Dr. Tolar is continuously striving to make life better for these kids despite the challenges and setbacks.  Because of this dedication, tremendous strides are being made and each new day brings them closer to finding a cure.

    I am thinking of buying a shirt. I was wondering how the sizing is for adults. Are they unisex? Any help you have about sizing for the tshirts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks you! This is a great cause!

    What percentage of the gear purchases go towards the research? Thanks!

    • irefuseeb says:

      Virginia, thank you for the question…a very good one! I donate 100% of all proceeds to Pioneering Unique Cures for Kids (PUCK), an organization that is very special to me. This means that once the cost of the item is covered, the remaining money is donated. Because PUCK is a parent driven initiative of the Children’s Cancer Research Fund they have no over head (CCRF covers costs for them) and therefore 100% of all money donated to PUCK goes to the research. I hope that this answers your question. Christie

        Thank you so much for all you do…I completely understand that all proceeds go to the fund, thanks for explaining. I think I was thinking more about how much is left over after the shirts and ornaments etc. costs are covered. Anyway I think it is a great cause and the gear helps spread awareness which is great!
