[McLean, VA] — “At just 16 years old, Owen Chester Singer, son of Arizona State University Master of Global Security Professor Dr. Peter Singer, is taking on breast cancer not with a medical degree, but with a powerful idea born from his own family’s battle. Inspired by his mother’s fight with multiple rounds of breast cancer, Owen has launched Cancer Kicks, a non-profit that sells custom-designed shoes, sandals, blankets, and apparel to provide comfort and hope to patients and their loved ones. All profits are donated directly to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

His inspiration came from watching his mom “gear up” for her chemotherapy sessions, a ritual that included a pair of well-worn pink tennis shoes and a cozy blanket. Seeing the emotional comfort these simple items provided, he realized there was a need for products that could be a physical symbol of hope and strength, as well as provide money for an important cause.

“I wanted to do more than just stand by,” says Singer. “I created Cancer Kicks to give those battling cancer something that lets them know that they’re not alone. Friends and family can also wear them in support. Even better, all the profits fund research that will ultimately kick this disease.”

Key Facts about Cancer Kicks:

  • Mission: To provide comfort and inspiration to those fighting cancer while funding a cure.
  • Products: Custom-designed shoes, slides, blankets, and apparel that can be personalized with messages of support.
  • Impact: All profits are donated directly to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
  • Founding Story: The organization was founded by 16-year-old Owen Chester Singer, inspired by his mother’s personal battle with breast cancer.

Cancer Kicks is a unique story that combines a compelling personal narrative, a timely launch ahead of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and a clear mission to make a tangible difference. The organization offers an opportunity to cover an inspiring and relevant story with a human interest angle that is perfect for broadcast, print, and digital media.”
