FORT MYERS, Fla. (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) March 26, 2008 --
iwearitwell.com, the source for color-coordinated comfort wear
helping chemotherapy patients look good and feel better, today announced
the official launch of the company, its online
store and their efforts to help the millions of people affected by
cancer around the world. Initially, iwearitwell.com will offer handmade head
scarves, earrings
and matching
shirts to help women suffering from hair loss while providing an
option for friends and family to give a gift
of support. Moving forward, iwearitwell.com intends to expand beyond
the head
wrap ensembles
with products that help women progress from cancer patient to cancer
survivor. Millions of people will face this horrible disease in 2008, either as a
victim or someone that cares about one. According to recent statistics
released by the American Cancer Society, approximately 565,000 Americans
are expected to die of cancer this year. Furthermore, 1 in 3 women will
suffer from cancer in her lifetime and face the challenges of treatment
while fighting this illness. While the statistics are dramatic, the
personal experiences of each person dealing with cancer go beyond mere
numbers. Cancer is a truly devastating illness that attacks a person, their
family and friends on every level - physically, emotionally and
spiritually. After battling and beating breast cancer, Kelly
Henderson, founder of iwearitwell.com, decided to share her
experience to help cancer patients and their loved ones fight this
terrible disease. Having undergone the physical and emotional effects of
chemotherapy, Kelly was determined to find a way to assist other cancer
patients suffering from hair loss. From this understanding and a
passionate dedication to help other women, iwearitwell.com
was born. A Personal Welcome Message from Kelly Henderson “iwearitwell.com provides chemotherapy
patients with a supportive solution when energy levels are low and
appearance anxiety is high. We have created color-coordinated ensembles
consisting of shirts, handmade earrings and head scarves. During one of
the most difficult periods in their lives, our goal is to help your
loved one look good and feel better,” stated
Kelly. “Beyond our product line, our website
provides a newsletter
filled helpful information and support tips. We also invite cancer
patients, survivors and supporters to share their personal experiences. “Along with helping today’s

other research organizations dedicated to finding a cure.” About iwearitwell.com iwearitwell.com is dedicated to helping chemotherapy patients look good
