Hello
I am contacting you as a breast cancer survivor, hoping you can help make all post-mastectomy women’s lives more comfortable.
Following my own mastectomy I was completely frustrated by the total lack of comfortable, functional clothing that fit my needs as a breast cancer survivor.
Any woman who has had a mastectomy soon realizes that all sense of fashionable comfort is gone forever.
Either you’re wearing “the prosthesis” and are physically uncomfortable or you’re not wearing “the prosthesis” and are uncomfortable with your appearance.
My name is Anja Mullins, founder and CEO of Ann Jacqueline Design. I had an idea for a simple, attractive, one-piece garment that would eliminate the need to wear a post-mastectomy prosthesis.
Today my company, Ann Jacqueline Design, has developed and is marketing an innovative prosthesis free fashion line specifically for women who have had a single or double mastectomy.
Post mastectomy women no longer need to contend with the discomfort of wearing a bulky, heavy prosthesis that shifts within the pocket of the bra.
Women may now choose to wear a lightweight, pull-over, one piece prosthesis free, fashionable garment that can be worn in any social setting.
More than 200,000 women in the U.S. are stricken with breast cancer each year and there are more than 2,000,000 breast cancer survivors in the United States alone.
My company is tailored to the specific needs of these women.
Please assist me to publicize and promote our Unique “Fashion for post mastectomy women “to benefit every US lady in need.
I am very much interested in you opinion and skills and celebrity status to address our enthusiasm.
Please contact me at 619.729.4355, 800-5690714
