🧡Get Involved - Support The Heart Warrior Project🧡

Are you a fellow cardiac arrest survivor, a heart warrior? Together with an illustrator, I have created some awesome-looking t-shirt designs for heart warriors. I have a few of the shirts myself, and they have honestly become my favorite t-shirts. I wear them (almost) all the time.

Also, we have created mugs where you not only drink your coffee, tea, or just about anything but also feel empowered doing it. They are printed with the ‘I Am a Heart Warrior’ logo on the front to remind you of how brave you are, and a gorgeous quote on the back to inspire you.

You can order your t-shirt or mug (or both) by going here: https://heartwarriorproject.com/get-involved/

If the t-shirt or mug doesn’t speak to you, but you want to support the project, we also accept donations. You can find more info on that by going to the same link mentioned above.
