Our Story

Getting dressed shouldn't be a stressful task – living with a
disability is hard enough.

The concept for MagnaReady® came about when my husband was
diagnosed at an early age with Parkinson's disease. By trade he is a
college football coach. One day after a game he was trapped in the
locker room unable to button his shirt. Unfortunately, limited
mobility is one of the side effects associated with Parkinson's, and
his hands just were not working. Luckily, a player noticed his
struggle and buttoned his shirt for him. That night my husband
came home and relayed the story. He was embarrassed;
embarrassed that he couldn't perform this simple task. He was
thankful that he had someone to help him that day, but as
someone that travels for business, he was anxious about getting
into a situation while he was on the road. As he shared his
concerns, I knew right away how I could help him with this daily
challenge.

By magnetically infusing the buttons on his shirts, I created a
product that could restore freedom to his daily routine.
