DVT Awareness by Design is a consumer driven initiative that provides a novel way to build awareness that goes beyond highlighting the signs and symptoms of DVT by actively empowering individuals to show their support through designing and personalizing socks to showcase what DVT means to them. The kits provide all the materials needed to host a risk assessment event or help to raise awareness in your community by helping you to illustrate what DVT means to you.

Each kit include:

A dozen pairs of socks
Decorating tools including a mini glue stick, ribbon stickers, and bag of mixed buttons
Embroidered Coalition to Prevent DVT ribbon stickers
Public Service Announcement (PSA) posters featuring Melanie Bloom
Sharpie Pens in assorted colors
A glitter glue pen set in assorted colors
A package of The Coalition to Prevent DVT lapel pins
 
My hubby was diagnosed with DVT in March. This is scary stuff. Thanks for the find. I really hope this comes.
 
Thanks, This will come in handy for the senior citizens at the living facility that i deal with as i am always planning and presenting gatherings about different health issues.:teeth::clap:
 
Hubby has a family member with DVT. I didn't send for the freebie because I'm not having any kind of gathering to distribute the socks, but kudos to those of you who are taking the time to do this. It's a very serious condition and important to spread the word to others.

I kindly ask that you please think twice before submitting for this if yourself or someone you know DOES NOT have DVT. You would be taking samples away from those that deserve this the most. Mahalo for your kokua!

Repsectfully, I would suggest that this kit is MEANT for those that DON'T already have and/or know about DVT. I follow Melanie Bloom and her work and the point is to get the education out to as many people as possible no matter what age, gender or race.

More to the point would be to suggest that if you are not going to participate in getting the word out please do not request a kit.
