Our story

The image on all Charlie Gear was taken from a photograph of Charlie Cutler at the end of a 7-day, 428 mile bike ride across the State of Iowa during RAGBRAI 2014. What made this experience extremely notable was that it was only 5 months after his first bone marrow transplant.  Charlie had Non-hodgkin’s lymphoma, and throughout his disease showed us how to live with courage and optimism even during the hardest of times.  The image on all Charlie Gear is our way of spreading Charlie’s positivity and hope. 

We think Charlie would be proud to know how he continues to inspire others. So, wear your Charlie Gear when you need a boost of confidence, or embark on your next adventure, or maybe give one to a friend in need of encouragement.  As Charlie said, “Life is full of peaks and valleys.  It’s all about how you get out of those valleys and climb to the next peak…Let’s Go!”
