Our Story

Furnace Room Print Shop, formerly known as The Fighting Irish Martins, is run by Michelle Martin, a Langley, BC mom to twin boys, Axel and Jaxon, who both have cerebral palsy due to premature birth and a rare and severe condition during pregnancy called Twin to Twin
Transfusion Syndrome. By day, I mom my amazing dudes 24/7, and work as a freelance B2B marketing copywriter by night. I also write a lot on my blog and Instagram, and make this store happen in my "spare time." (What is that, anyway? 😜)

I create fun (I hope?) mugs, clothing and other gift items with the hope of brightening your day, and to make a difference. I am passionate
about raising awareness of cerebral palsy, and also advocating that our public health system does NOT support our kids the way it should.

Private therapy is amazing and so beneficial to our kids, but out of financial reach for many families.

For that reason, and the kindness we have been shown to date, 10% of profits from all orders are donated to Canadian charities that
support kids with CP and/or fund private physiotherapy and/or occupational therapy for Canadian children who have Cerebral Palsy!
