Sock-it-to-Me
In honor of those who have lymphedema, we are inviting you to wear one knee high sock that will be visible over your pant leg or roll one pant leg up to your knee. The color for Lymphedema is Teal, but if you don’t have this color, please wear any color. We just want to bring awareness and hopefully have people ask why you have one sock showing. Should you be asked, simply say “It’s in honor of those who have Lymphedema, swelling caused by a buildup of lymph fluid that can occur in any part of the body.” If they continue to ask questions, please give them a Talking Card” about Lymphedema (these will be made available soon), or give them the number/business card of RSMC to speak with a Certified Lymphedema Therapist.
