When breast cancer threw me into menopause the treatments side effects that bothered me the most was night sweats.I was familiar with wicking clothing from the gym, the tennis courts, the slopes and the trails. I could not find the same performance clothing found for outdoor clothing for sleepwear. So I started my own company. The same sweat equation whether from physical exercise or night sweats was the same; Sweat + Hot + Cold = Miserable.
With an old sewing machine and bike short fabric I made my first prototype nightgown. It worked! I found more soft high wicking sleep friendly fabric and made another sample and brought it to my breast cancer support group. They went wild with enthusiasm. Two years after my initiation into the world of breast cancer,I started Haralee.Com with my goal to make cool garments for hot women.
