Poll Re; Jennifer Ewing memorial shirts..

[Denise223]

Trek420 -- Thank you for posting the link to the guestbook for Jennifer. I'll be able to write how I feel, to her family.

With regard to the shirts, etc.... I'm beginning to think of horrific tragedies that happen to women world-wide. Whether they are cyclists, runners, swimmers, mothers, etc....

I was thinking about the Central Park Jogger, Trisha Meili, who survived a BRUTAL ATTACK on April 19, 1989....

Every single day we hear about unthinkable, horrible tragedies that happen throughout the world....

God Bless Jennifer Ewing and her family. She certainly did not die in vain.

I don't know much about getting T-shirts made, etc....., but it's starting to sound a bit like this is more "fashion/material/neck shape, etc., etc...", and is losing what the original concept was, which is to honor Jennifer.

You're welcome, I'm still trying to come up with what to write myself, words fail me (which is unusual for me) but it does seem like the cycling community is posting to the family. I'm sure at some point when they have time to read them it would matter that people cared to take the time to write.

I just had a thought. Instead of a shirt just for the memory of Jennifer (although she is the catalyst) how about one in memory of as many woman athletes we can think of who's lives were taken? To steal words from someone's on the guest book, how about the tree Nanci mentioned with these women's names and birthdates/last day on the branches and a saying at the bottom "may their spirits live in all of us", or "may their spirits be a part of us" or something to that effect, and a little note underneath of "women supporting women"? Something to that effect. Just a thought...
