Zippaport's mission is to help make the process of receiving cancer treatments easier on children through customized clothing that is functional, comfortable, and fun.
Zippaport shirts are designed to make port access easier, with a zipper that opens the shirt in the just the right place. But what’s a port and why is this important? Kids that are diagnosed with cancer often have a port-a-cath inserted under their skin, usually in the chest area. The port is accessed with a needle and IV, and chemo is given this way. The area surrounding the port must be sterile, so if a child is wearing a regular shirt, they generally need to remove it for the port to be accessed. If a child is wearing a Zippaport shirt, they simply need to unzip the zipper for the port to be accessed. Our vision is to distribute these shirts to any brave kid who requires port access. Help us make cancer treatments easier for kids.
