Alie Adgate is the founder & CEO of sick threads! She was inspired to start sick threads when she was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease in 2020. Alie lives with ankylosing spondylitis which is a type of arthritis that causes inflammation in the joints and ligaments of the spine. Having an autoimmune disease can be a source of depression and anxiety that sick threads hopes to shed light on. Along with designing apparel that uniquely represents our customers sick threads pledges to raise money semi-annually to give back to the chronically ill community.
