Socks can put a smile on your face. Just ask John Lee Cronin of John’s Crazy Socks. John is an extraordinary entrepreneur. John has Down’s Syndrome and started the business with his father. He loves colorful, fun socks and his mission is to “spread happiness through socks.”
I’ve featured the puppy socks, crazy for daisy socks, breast cancer awareness socks and Down’s Syndrome Super Hero socks. With more than 1200 styles to choose from, this just might be the perfect Mother’s Day or Father’s Day gift.
I first heard about John’s Crazy Socks when President George H. Bush wore them at his wife’s funeral. He chose the library socks because Barbara Bush was an advocate for literacy. How did the President choose John’s Crazy Socks? It’s an inspiring story, just like the business. John tells his story here.
