‘I MAKE SHIRTS FOR MINI SUPERHEROES!'

Jason’s marvellous costumes are helping sick kids fight back

Since 2018, Jason Sotiris has been helping sick kids become superheroes. After watching his one-year-old daughter Angela undergo chemotherapy, he came up with the idea of “Supertees”.

Designed with a cape that transforms into a bib, side studs to make changing easy and openings for various tubes, the shirts act as a virtual armour for children fighting the worst villain of all – cancer.

“Sitting by her hospital bed, I knew there was nothing I could do to help Angela until I noticed how difficult it was to change her clothes while she was connected to the IV drip and various monitors,” says Jason, 42, whose daughter had a rare cancer but is now in remission. “This is when the idea for the Supertee was born.”
