Laura's Story
In August of 2013, Laura Hahn Kleidon, was diagnosed with Stage 3 Ovarian Cancer. At the age of 42, after bravely fighting through three rounds of chemotherapy, multiple surgeries, radiation treatments and extended hospital stays, Laura passed away on May 25, 2015.
Laura was a dedicated and loving mother of four, a wife, a daughter, a sister and a friend who didn’t save anything for a special occasion...because in her opinion, being alive was a special occasion. She knew unexpected things were always going to happen in life and always made the decision to approach every day with love, courage, and humor. She truly believed in the power of positive, living by the motto, "be silly, be fun, be different, be crazy, be you." The memory of her infectious smile, her fearless approach to life, and her encouraging spirit lives on in all who knew her.
The BHAHN Collection was inspired by Laura’s love of butterflies. Our collection will continue to celebrate her life as well as to support research to find a cure for her disease as well as those afflicting so many others. BHAHN ties have a distinct look to them presenting a bright butterfly embroidered on the front evoking Laura's sense of playfulness as well as drawing awareness to the cause these ties support.
Now, on the wings of Laura’s love for butterflies, we can all fly with her together.
