Going through cancer treatment is uncomfortable in
more ways than one. Lying on an exam table, getting chemo or going through a
radiation treatment, there is always one thing that happens: your feet are
always cold!
When we started choosing what special items to
include in our Fighting Pretty Packages, a pair of fun, cozy, socks was a
definite. Instead of relying on the hospital to give you those ugly
slipper-socks, in years past, we’ve included all types of socks – fuzzy socks,
leopard socks, heart socks and more.
In late 2014 after Fighting Pretty ventured west to
Portland, Oregon, founder Kara Dolce reached out to local sock company, Sock Dreams and magic happened. The
team at Sock Dreams was immediately interested in helping women feel strong and
beautiful through cancer treatment by donating 100 pairs of socks for our
Pretty Packages.
They created one design with three colors: pink
stripes, blue stripes and brown stripes. Initially, these “Fighting Pretty crew
socks” were exclusively designed for our Pretty Packages, but due to popular
demand, Sock Dreams included them as a product listing on their online website
and will be donating 20% of the sale to Fighting Pretty! A true win-win for
all!
We cannot thank the team at Sock Dreams enough for
all of their love and support for women battling cancer everywhere. As we are
sending beauty and strength in our Pretty Packages, Sock Dreams is the perfect
partner to send the love!
If you would like to order a pair of Fighting
Pretty crew socks, you can visit the Sock Dreams website: www.sockdreams.com or Order

include these socks, visit our website www.fightingpretty.org and

I received a fighting pretty package (thank you so much!!) but these awesome socks were not included. I am having a prophylactic mastectomy in November and would love a pair of these pink socks to keep me warm as I am recuperating. Please consider sending me a pair for free, I haven't been working during treatment, and I'm not lucky enough to have a "Nate the Great" in my life. I loved reading that story, not all men stick around...God bless you both!
