About The Extra Mile: 
The Extra Mile Organization was conceived after founder and CEO, Matt Dimmer, discovered his father was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer in 2011. Matt lived in Los Angeles and his father lived in Chicago. So, Matt and his wife found themselves traveling back and forth between the two cities numerous times to spend every possible minute of life with Matt's father.

After his passing, Matt realized how fortunate they were to have had the opportunity to travel to spend time with his ill father; he wondered then how difficult it would be for others to spend quality time with, be physically present for, cancer-diagnosed family members in separate locations—if they did not have the financial means to travel to be with them. This notion then sparked Matt's drive and passion to create The Extra Mile organization.
This organization's mission is to give those who cannot afford to travel the opportunity to visit their loved ones dying of cancer, so they can cherish the last holiday, weekend, day, minute, second… together.
In Matt’s father's last days and beyond, stories came pouring back to him, how his dad — as a father, coach, friend, neighbor — always went the extra mile to help anyone in need. So the name, The Extra Mile, just beautifully fell into place.
This special t-shirt is designed to incorporate The Extra Mile 
organization of California's mission focused in travel, and being able to go "the extra mile" fused with The Sunset Sessions' spirit of classic vintage, surf, California culture. The volkswagon is an iconic visual symbol of love and happiness to so many people—this tee was designed to help spread the good, happy, classic Cali coastal vibes and love to those who wear it, see it.
Both of these fine 100% cotton t-shirts are made in Los Angeles by American Apparel.
Hand-screened with environmentally-friendly, non-toxic aqua screenprinting ink in San Francisco.
