A kind-hearted tradesman has hung up his toolbox to make superhero-inspired hospital costumes for Australia's sickest children after his daughter was diagnosed with cancer. Jason Sotiris, from Sydney's western suburbs, launched Supertees in 2018, five years after his eldest daughter, Angela, started battling Langerhans cell histiocytosis, a rare disorder that causes excess immune cells to grow inside the body. The 41-year-old father-of-three recalls feeling 'helpless and useless' when he was unable to change his firstborn's clothes without a nurse due to the tangle of tubes attached to her tiny body.
Driven by Angela's bravery, he went from silicon-sealing bathrooms to creating strategically designed garments that make life easier for sick children in hospital.

Despite doctors giving her just a 20 percent chance of survival, Angela, who celebrated her ninth birthday in May, is now cancer-free and will hopefully have no need for her father's brilliant invention in the future. But other kids are not so lucky. RELATED ARTICLES Previous 1 Next Fit and healthy student nurse, mahjong 19, misdiagnosed with a sinus...
