BOGART, Ga.—A local sporting good company reinvents their product to serve the needs of young children undergoing chemotherapy and other medical treatments.
Evoshield, a sports protection company, was started by a former University of Georgia football player, Stan Kanavage. The company uses body-forming shields that mold into a unique fit for each athlete. The shield is light-weight, fits into an athletic shirt, and disperses energy on impact.
According to Evan Dewalt, the creative and marketing director, the company is making special shirts in order to accommodate unlikely users of the product, young cancer patients. The special shirt uses a thumb guard that covers one side of the child’s chest in order to protect the area where the chemotherapy is given.
Because chemotherapy can weaken the immune system and severely limit the activities of a child, they need protection from any type of injury. By having protection, these children can live their lives normally without further injuring themselves.
