Ashlyn's strength, courage, and smile motivates all of us! Ashlyn has been diagnosed with stage 4 high risk neuroblastoma. She originally had treatment that included five rounds of chemotherapy, surgery, two stem cell transplants, and late last year, her family was devastated to learn that she had relapsed. Ashlyn is a trooper and the strongest little girl. If anyone can handle this, she can. Her "6th" birthday is a special one for sure. It marks her victories throughout her journey and we are all so proud of her. Ashlyn has loved her special Brave Gowns that she's worn through treatment. You may have seen her in her ballerina, rainbow or watermelon Brave Gowns. She thinks they are so soft and fun, so we thought it would be so special to gift them to other children at UNC's Children's Hospital from Ashlyn and friends! Together we can all spread hope with Ashlyn Hope to other children, and help celebrate her 6th birthday to other children with Brave Gowns. Thank you!

Being a child stuck in the hospital over the is tough. Having to wear an old, uncomfortable hospital gown makes the experience even worse. Brave Gowns are a variety of bright, fun, lively designs to suit every child's personality. No more dingy, lifeless pastel gowns that look and feel as if they have been washed numerous times. Brave Gowns transform the spirit of a child and allow them to travel using their imaginations, wherever their hearts desire!We are so enthusiastic about our gowns because they are not your standard hospital gowns! Brave Gowns have gone through extensive Clinical Pilot Programs in the children's hospital network and were created with the input of a transplant team at Lurie's Children's Hospital. Not only do they have fun prints that cover the entire front like costumes; they are made out of an amazingly soft fabric that resembles your soft, favorite t-shirt, or nightgown! They have IV access on both sleeves, access to chest ports and heart monitors. No more having to worry about a draft or the back opening. While the gowns are softer then you can even imagine, they meet all hospital standards and hold up to industrial washings competing with gowns being offered currently. Brave Gown is a high-quality gown, that helps eliminate infections in chest port and makes it easier to access every part of a patient's body!
