Adaptive/Disabled Clothing & Accessory Blog

Archive for February, 2009

In a recent posting here in our blog I introduced you all to Meagan Barnard, a Senior at Superior High School in Superior, Wisconsin. Meagan has Primary Lymphedema Praecox. For her senior project Meagan created a magazine called Limitless, to help those with conditions or disabilities to see that you can do whatever you put our mind to regardless of our condition or disability.

I am very excited to be able be involved with and to announce that Meagan is going to be holding a benefit and Fundraiser to raise awareness for Lymphedema and in finding a cure. Over 10 million people in the United States live with this condition which to date has no cure. All proceeds from the magazine and the fundraiser will be donated to the Lymphatic Research Foundation so that one day these brave individuals will have a cure for this condition once and for all!

Here’s the details:

We are looking forward to making this the first of many event s to come to help to raise awareness for such a great cause and to help to be able to find a cure for this incredible life altering condition.

Thank you in advance for your generous help during a tough economic time.

This past Friday night I had a great conversation with Carol B. regarding adaptive and accessible clothing for the developmentally disabled and she provided some great feedback to me regarding the need for the products we offer and that the market just does not know we are here, and how right she is. I am really looking forward to talking to her further.

What Carol said goes back to why I started this blog, to get the word out through the organizations and individuals that either live with a condition or who help those who live with one, to let them know that even though the economy has its problems and stores and manufacturing are cutting  back, one thing is for sure, that I will not stop reaching out to help as many as I can to provide them with a clothing product that meets their specific need or needs and that will allow them to dress and feel great about themselves just as those of us without a need. It’s all about dignity and feeling good about ones-self.  

I am very excited about where Cast Clothing is headed, we are poised to be the first one out of the starting block when the economic woes start to clear up, and I am very optimistic that it is going to happen soon!

Thanks to all of you who spread the word about Cast Clothing and the work we are doing, I sincerely appreciate everything you are doing for us!
