Thanks for doing this.

I will buy one as well.....thanks for all your efforts...
Its a lovely idea. Im in.
You people are awesome!!!! Keep it up. Stay safe
Jenny's sis-
From what I've read it sounds like Jenny was AWESOME as well!! And I have no doubt she would have been just like one of us, rallying around and trying to make a difference!!! We can and we will! Like I said before, even if our efforts only save one life, we will have been successful!
Please keep us posted if your family tries to get any legislation passed, as we will all help support ya'll!
take care.
Denise
I was thinking, when Jenny's sister was talking about legislation- how grateful I am for the amount of patroling the trails I ride get. Too bad there can't be a lot more.
Ok, I just left a VM for the guy at the coolmax shirts place. I'm going to see if we can get both black shirts and white shirts. they will have purple writing on them. I am going to nail down exactly what the family wants them to say and I will get back to you all with that. It sounds like it will be something like what I previously suggested. I'm hoping that they will be priced reasonably enough that I can get at least 5.00 a shirt on top of the cost to donate to the Sandy Hill (I think that was the name) Mission, which is where the family would like donations to go to.
My goal for all of this is to get Jenny's story out there, and if the family has a message, or some legislation or such, we could get the word out on that as well. I want these t shirts to mean more than just a memorial. I want them to bring awareness and hopefully change on some level.
Personally I have pledged to Jenny's sister that I will race in her honor, and I plan to wear her shirt at all my upcoming races. Also if there are alot of you in one area perhaps you could wear the shirts and do a ride in her honor.
So like I said, I'll keep ya'll posted.
Denise
I'm in also.
I'm in too. I'm very touched by Jenny's sister's replies.
Maybe we can make something good come out of such a senseless tragedy. My sincerest condolences to Jenny's sister and her family.

Denise,
Do you have Paypal set up so it will be easy to pay for them? For us to pay you privately? Contrary to popular opinion- it's free!
Simple. Sending money online is as easy as typing in an email address and clicking send.
Safe. You'll enjoy the same cutting-edge security and fraud protection you get with every PayPal transaction.
Free. Sending person-to- person payments through your PayPal personal account is free. Si
I have a pay pal acct but haven't used it in YEARS. I'll have to try to figure out the info, and then I'll prolly bug you about setting that up when the time comes! ha ha
RunningM,
I'm in a women's cycling club here in Atlanta, and I'm pretty sure that some of our 85 members will be interested. Please make sure you allow for at least that many shirts. I can't guarantee we'll all buy one, but we're all pretty shaken up by the whole situation. Last I heard, a memorial ride is being planned for the 26th, benefits going to the Sandy Springs charity.
Thanks for spearheading this.
I'll also post information on the other local forums, including the trail forum for the Silver Comet. In fact, the Silver Comet Depot is a bike shop right on the trail. Once we get the shirts, I'll see if they would be interested in buying some to sell at the store. They knew Jennifer, as they know all of us trail regulars.
Denise -- You can count on me to order at least one, regardless of the fabric. This would make a great xmas/holiday/birthday gift for your friends/family/etc., too, so I might be getting more than one. Also, let me know if you need any help pulling this together, ok?
Count me in as well. I might get an extra one for my biking friend in Santa Fe also.
They are sounding great Denise. Are you planning on setting up a pay pal account. It will be easier on you. :) Thanks for doing this.
i'm in also. its a great idea.
are you going to put up pictures of what your thinking?
The rep w/ the cool max site hasn't called me back, so I just emailed Jason at Titan wear. I know of him thorugh the TNO forum, so hopefully he get's back to me soon. I'd like to try to get these done and out by that memorial ride. I'm not sure if he can do custom, but I'm hoping he can- and if not he can steer me to someone who can! I know he did the TNO logo stuff, so my fingers and toes are crossed!!
Ok, I just spoke with the Rep from coolmax clothing. The shirts including screen print are 15.00 a piece. I'm thinking that shipping them out will be no more than 3.00 since I can put them in a tyvek envelope, so here is my question to you.... I could "sell them" for 20.00 and make a couple of bucks for the charity per shirt, or I could sell them for 25.00 a shirt and send at least 5.00 but prolly closer to 7.00 to 8.00 per shirt to Sandy Springs Mission. Or I could leave it up to the individual, either 20.00 or 25.00, and then do the math on a per shirt basis.
Rest assured, I will not keep a PENNY extra of the money from this. Anything I can send to Sandy Springs I will. I am doing this for Jenny and her family. For some reason I feel called to do this, so on I press.
My next thing is to get the text from the family and then we'll be good to go.
Oh- the only bummer is that the only vnecks I can get are in baby blue or pink.. Otherwise it's a regular neckline. You would think there would be more options, but at this price point there aren't as many as hoped. I hope this is ok with everyone.
RM--Coolmax would be great, v-neck is my favorite, I would be happy with blue, and I'd be honored to buy at least two shirts (I'm sure my mom would like one). Thanks for doing this. I'm so glad Jenny's sister found us, also, so she can see how her sister's life and fight have touched so many people.
I think this is a great idea and I will wear whatever you guys decide! Thanks for taking this on Runningmommy!
I'll say it again. All of you are awesome. RunningMommy I can't even begin to thank you!!! I would go with purple black and white. I asked my nephew who is 5 to tell me all the things he remembered about Jenny and one of the things we talked about was that he remembers her as always wearing purple. I hope this is okay. My family is hurting like we have never imagined possible, but this is helping. I will forever be indebted to all of you for that. This is going to be great. My sister deserves every bit of this and more. She was as close to perfect as it gets. We called her The Golden One a little tongue in cheek, but in reality everyone knew we all meant it. She lived her life for others and spent her time trying to glorify God through her thoughts and actions. She was the best of all of us, and her physical absence is devastating. Stay safe

Hi gang,
cannot tell if my original entry ever was submitted, as I cannot find it; so I apologize if this is a repeat.
My name is Bernadette Boas
Along with others I am coordinating a memorial ride in Jenny's name, and have been in touch with her sister in regards to it.
Due to active cycling events through Oct nailing a date down has been tricky, but am working to finalize on it asap
That said, in regards to the shirts, there could be great interest from folks at the memorial ride to want to purchase one. We have plans to have a small fee for the ride that will go to donation, we could also include a notation on the ride registry that if someone wanted a shirt, they could also purchase one (via the on line registration) and that too would go to charity. Or, you can simply have a table set up wiht shirts at the event. Either way
Anyway, could someone please reply to this entry to confirm it was received
i will be keeping in touch here to let you know of the plans
Bernadette
I was going to write my check for more than the t shirt anyway so whatever
RM -
Whatever you decide will be fine...
I know there are a few threads on this topic -- should we use this thread from now on, so posts don't get lost?
Thanks!
Denise
Ladies,
I've just started a new thread called "August 7th - Updated Order info for Jenny Ewing Tees" It contains all the latest info on how to order, the price, expected delivery, etc.
Bernadette - if you'd like, you can simply direct folks to TE to place their orders. If you prefer to order some additional quantity to have available at your event, send me a PM and I can give you all the manufacturer info.
Susan
Thank you so much Susan AND Team Estrogen!!!!
Stay safe

Jennifer Ewing was my daughter-in-law's beautiful aunt. I had the pleausure of knowing her and she was one of the kindest and most loving person I have ever met. Sadly my granddaughter was only two weeks old when Jenny was so tragically taken from her family and will never get to know her. I live in Western New York and belong to a biking group called the Outspokin's and I would love to help raise money for this memorial ride. I know all the girls would purchase a tee shirt , as they have all kept the Ewing Family in their prayers. Please contact me with the information when it is available. Thank-you, Jane Floss
