Yesterday, I was asked by my follower Karen on Twitter to make a shirt in support of Jack Jablonski, who, if you are not aware, is a high school hockey player currently in the hospital and paralyzed from a check he received from behind. His condition is tenuous at best, having severely bruised his spinal chord.
Now, those of you that have been following me for a while know that I have done charity shirts before. This, however, is different as I have never done a charity design for someone who is living. This makes me apprehensive, as I would hate to offend someone. A support shirt is much different from a memorial shirt, at least to me, which is why I’m posting the design for review before I make it into a shirt. Proceeds would go to Jabby’s (as he is known by his teammates and friends) Caring Bridge page.
Please, I sincerely want to know what you think of this design.

I don’t know Jack Jablonski or anyone remotely involved in this story. But the last few days I have done nothing but check his CaringBridge over and over for updates, hoping and praying that it wouldn’t come to this… but it has. It’s obvious by now that Jack is a fighter, and while this is sure to be unimaginably hard, he can and will overcome it. Hockey is a family here in Minnesota, as Jack surely knows. We’re all behind you, buddy. #Jabs #13
