A Story of Cancer Survival and How a Company Came to Be

At the beginning of last year (2013) I (CJay DiPrima) was diagnosed with a very rare form of cancer called “grey zone” lymphoma.  One of the key components in allowing myself to persevere against this terrible illness was my ability to Stay Positive!  This mental state and overall message had such an resounding impact that my best friend Tom Mullin and I decided to create an new apparel company called Stay Positive Apparel LLC to help spread the message about Staying Positive and support the battle against cancer.

Our new company website is as follows - http://www.staypositiveapparel.com/.  In summary, we are currently selling men’s, women’s and children’s apparel (shirts, sweatshirts and hats) with a portion of each sale item being donated to Massachusetts General Pediatric Oncology to help fight the battle against cancer.  Our company and apparel was created with an emphasis on supporting the fight against all of the different types of cancers.  This is accomplished by selecting a specific logo color that represents one of the different types of cancer (For Example… Lymphoma=Lime Green; Breast Cancer=Pink, etc…).  As you visit our company website, you will gain a better understanding of the meaning behind our company name, logo and apparel.

Thank you in advance for reading this note and remember to always Stay Positive!
