Cure ignorance with fashion

A new Seattle company is hoping fashion will help combat ignorance of different diseases.

FiveHumans has launched a disease-related clothing line, so far supporting autism, cancer, asthma, diabetes and heart disease.

They have T-shirts, long-sleeve shirts, hats for men and women and a children's clothing line called LittleHumans.

The company has designated a nonprofit organization for every cause they support and donates 10 percent of the sale price of each product to them, including the American Lung Association, Autism Speaks and Seattle University College of Nursing.

Their Web site also has a new feature called "My Story", which profiles those affected by a disease. The stories are recorded and streamed online.

There's also a blog with updated information on different health-related issues.
