For any of you not familiar with Connor's story, here's a quick recap: http://www.startribune.com/sports/gophers/237109121.html

For any of you who personally know Connor, you know what a truly remarkable person he is. Even though his 3.5 years of treatment, he was funny, inspiring, and a great kid to know...and you'd also see that he is someone that will be successful at anything he does. He just started his own company, ComfPort- which is a fashionable clothing line for cancer patients, or anyone that would like to wear them.

I 2nd that! It should also that for every shirt sold, one is donated to a cancer patient in need.

For men, this isn't as big of an issue (but it still is an issue), but for girls/women, it's really tough to have to take off your shirt for every chemo. Check out my little buddy Paige (the reason I got involved in LLS) and her sister Sydney who had the same idea --> http://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2011/05/18/girl-invents-port-shirt-to-help-sister-with-leukemia/
 


Contributed my $40 last night after seeing this on the news.
 


Fully funded according to an email I just received.
 

FSN: Ex-Gophers WR Cosgrove providing ComfPort to cancer patients

Though Cosgrove has found a company to make the shirts, ComfPort needs to bring a large enough order to make the production feasible. Cosgrove's goal was to raise $30,000 by May 14. As of Thursday morning, ComfPort had already surpassed that goal by raising $30,622. ComfPort's status as a one-for-one company means that for each T-shirt purchased, a cancer patient will also receive a shirt for free.

"We want to build a community of support," Cosgrove said. "Honestly, that's been the coolest part has been seeing that already coming into form and hearing those stories and being able to talk to people that we never would have been able to connect with. Hopefully we can all just help each other because it's such a hard time and nobody should have to go through it alone."
