Sicker Than the Average is not just about being "cooler" than the average, it's also about not being able to walk because you're too exhausted, sleeping more than 9 hours, but it feels like you haven’t slept in days, taking medication to survive, getting excited over great labs, being frustrated over good labs because you haven’t felt well, or not remembering how it feels to not have pain. Sicker Than the Average is having Scleroderma, Arthritis, Lupus, Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis, and many more. We are battling daily with our bodies physically and emotionally and deal with everything listed above and much more. This is why awareness is important. I created this clothing line because none of the awareness shirts were appealing. I wanted to create shirts with my own twist that can be universal.
Sicker Than the Average welcomes anyone with a chronic illness, people who have a loved one with a chronic illness or for anyone who loves the clothing and wants to bring awareness as well.
"Live your life like you're the main character. This is your show, own who you are unapologetically. When life is at its hardest it's preparing you for bigger things. Having the experience of having to accept my assistive devices and not care what others think about it has set me up to learn how to accept myself for who I am as a person and stop apologizing for it. I suit up, show up, and this is me."
