Ok girls, tomorrow I am going to check on getting some shirts made as referenced in the post regarding this tragedy.
It will be alot easier if I have some idea on just how many of you would be interested in ordering a shirt.
My idea- and I'm certainly open to a better one, would be to have written on the front:
" No woman should ever be afraid to ride alone"
and "In memory of Jennifer Ewing" under the quote.
I'm thinking a real nice font and maybe purple writing? Or perhaps someone could find out what her favorite color? I don't know if any of you GA girls have a way of finding that out??
Anyway, what do you think? Would you be interested??
I'm guessing that like anything the more that we order the cheaper they will be.

I really like the idea, RM. I suggest they be a cotton/poly mix, as that's what I would wear while riding. L.

Good idea, RM! Count me in!

hope you don't mind my re-posting this from the other thread:

Till this gets produced there is an online book formed for people to post a message to the family:

I'm interested. Thanks for taking the initiative!

I'll mention it to my bike club. Being as we're 85-women strong, and in Atlanta, we might have some folks interested. Let me know what I should do.

I am Jenny Ewing's sister. Thank you all so much for your thoughts and prayers. Keep me posted if there is anything I can do to help your efforts in establishing a memorial for her. She truly LOVED being on the trail enjoying nature and talking with God. She was awesome. She was also very careful. Ultra careful!!! You all be safe and take care.

**newfsmith** · 08-01-2006, 06:28 PM

I would be interested, and I'm not very choosey. Tee shirts, both technical and cotton are about all I wear.

**DDH** · 08-01-2006, 06:52 PM

I think this is a great idea!! I would be interested. I'm not picky about t-shirts seeing that is about all I wear. I know this is for a good cause and all, but can I mention that being a SAHM and my husband being the only sorce of income, in order for me to purchase one, the price would have to be reasonable. I hope that didn't sound terrible, I don't want to sound like a cheapskate. I use to be involved with a forum that sold t-shirts and such through cafepress and they always seemed so pricey for what you got. I mean I bought a couple through the forum and the transfers faded quite quickly, and the t-shirts shrank. Just wanted to let you know to be careful with that. I don't mind paying the price for something that will last.

Could the sale of the shirts go towards a favorite charity of hers?

**Triskeliongirl** · 08-02-2006, 06:57 AM

This is all so sad, but we can all learn from it too. WHile I think riding alone on the trails is obviously less safe than riding on the road alone, I think its something we all need to think about and have an action plan made ahead of time. Twice I was road riding, and followed by creepy guys in cars, and both times I text messaged the License plate numbers to my son, not to alarm him, but just in case. And you can't assume criminals don't ride bikes. Heck, a bike thief not only knows how to ride a bike, but how to strip it down for parts, clean them up, and list them on ebay. So, just cuz someone is out their on a bike doesn't mean they are your friend. Thank you so much for organizing us to do something, anything, to raise awareness of this problem. And to Jennifer's Sister, hearfelt condolences to you and the rest of your family.

Don't feel bad, DDH... while everyone has the loftiest of intentions with this, I think they also know that a lot of us face $ as a very real obstacle in things, too. But I second that. I don't hesitate to give to charities, but I really can't afford a whole lot... (oh, but I'd like to!)

Thank you! Your family's approval means everything to us. We only want to do something if you are comfortable with it.

I think this is a great idea and I will wear whatever you guys decide! Thanks for taking this on Runningmommy!

**jenny's sister** · 08-02-2006, 07:45 PM

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
