"Putting it all BEHIND me..."
with an arrow on the back of the T-shirt pointing down to butt level.

OR
a take on the old bumper sticker item for the T-shirt backs :
"If you're close enough to read this..."
....then a message like.... "ask me why I wrote this ??? "

OR
for the bottom half of the T-shirt back :
"if you're checking my butt...
Who's checking yours ??"

My team last year for our local GYRIG was Wrecked 'Ems. It got quite a response. :D
I'm trying to figure out how to put a picture of our logo here, but I can't get it to work.

Went in for surgery for a cyst on my bladder, and they found colon cancer growing on the outside of the colon. Got to have two surgeries at the same time! Stage 3, one node involved.

Okay at the last race I saw one shirt that said "half the guts, all the glory" maybe that'll spark someone's creativity.

For rectal patients who seemed to have to drop their pants and bend over for every doc, it really does seem to be all about the butt, which sparked my shirt. I will say, people were tracking us down to take pictures with members of my team in their I ❤ booty! Shirts

I like the Ass one ...but another thought it can be just cancer related to get the questions. I have had a shirt designed that the back says "Cancer is lame but nothing is impossible". The front has a cancer ribbon with the word Lame diagonal across. I get people stopping me all the time. So....maybe something like that. Or...Rollin with the Colons...
