Anyone with a child just feels heart wrenching for what Dan Miller and his family have gone through.

Although I only have 73% of 1 kidney, I haven't had to go through treatment since I was 7. This hits home with me for the reason above. Although ill never wear the shirt I will buy one. Maybe my brother will wear it
