02 Aug Millie and Tyler: A Love Story
He was sixteen.
She only a little girl of five.
But when these two nearby neighbors found themselves at Primary Children’s Medical Center as pediatric cancer warriors, they became best friends.
From pranks, to hugs, to shared secrets… Millie and Tyler couldn’t love each other more. Both passed away only months apart in 2013 but we know they are closer than ever to us, and each other.
That’s why we had to clue you into Millie’s Princess Foundation and their wonderful project with Persnickety Clothing Company. Together they are giving little girls who have pediatric cancer, the chance to be fashion designers.
A Little About Millie
Spunky little Millie Flamm who was diagnosed with leukemia at the age of four had a life-long dream of being a fashion designer. Her dream was fulfilled by Persnickety only weeks before her passing on June 18, 2013. “This experience with Millie changed us. We have the power to bring moments of sheer joy into the lives of children and families facing childhood cancer. It is part of our mission as a company- to increase happiness in the world; it’s who we are as individuals and our customers can’t get enough of these beautiful clothes designed and inspired by these courageous children,” said Corinne Rickenbach, Owner and Executive Designer of Persnickety Clothing Company.
Now it’s Cami Carver’s turn a delightful eight-year-old, recovering from a recent bone marrow transplant. She and Corinne sketched out designs and chose fabrics for two new dresses that you can preorder now or purchase at select retail locations in September. All proceeds from the sale of these dresses will go to Millie’s Princess Foundation to assist those families affected by childhood cancer.
So here’s what we want you to do. Follow Millie’s Princess Foundation and Persnickety Clothing Company on Facebook and if there’s a little angel girl in your life, get her the new 2014 Millie Dress.
Mille… and Tyler thank you.
