"Forget Me Not" Alzheimer's Awareness Socks Unisex Crew Sock
Have you or someone close to you been touched by the effects of Alzheimer's Disease? Our Alzheimer's Awareness Socks are not only beautiful but they are intended to raise money for research and promote awareness of the devastating effects of this disease.
John Cronin, our co-founder, says, “I wanted to make these socks for my grandmother, Mamo. She has Alzheimer’s and I love her.”
Co-founder Mark X. Cronin explains, “This is very personal for us. John and I have seen the impact that Alzheimer’s has had on our family. It affects not only the patient, but the entire family. And John has Down syndrome and we are all too aware of the connection between Down syndrome and Alzheimer’s. Most of the 200,000 people with Down syndrome in the United States and many of the 5 million worldwide will develop Alzheimer’s, many as early as their 40s.”
We donate 10% from the sale of each pair of socks to LuMind RDS Foundation, https://www.lumindidsc.org/, an organization dedicated to enabling independence and enriching community engagement for all individuals with Down Syndrome. LuMind RDS is actively working on research for the diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer's Disease.
