CRL Rocks Odd Socks for a Meaningful Cause

At CRL, we believe in standing together for causes that truly matter. On Thursday, 27th February, our offices were transformed into a colorful display of mismatched, wacky, and wonderfully odd socks, all in support of the Huntington’s Disease Association. It wasn’t just about making a bold fashion statement, but it was about raising awareness and funds for a condition that has deeply affected one of our own.

Huntington’s disease is a devastating, hereditary condition with no known cure, progressively impacting movement, mood, and memory. For us at CRL, this is more than just a charitable cause - it’s personal. One of our valued colleagues has already lost his wife to the disease and has now received the heartbreaking news that his daughter, a young mother in her 20s, has also inherited it. The reality of this cruel condition is something no family should have to endure, and yet, too many do.

To show our support, we encouraged everyone to dig out their brightest, boldest, and most ridiculous socks and wear them with pride. The more eye-catching, the better! The office was a riot of color as colleagues embraced the challenge, proving that even the smallest gestures can create a big impact. From polka dots and stripes to funky patterns and outright fashion disasters, the socks were on full display!

Beyond the fun and laughter, we came together to raise money to support those battling Huntington’s disease. Every penny donated will go towards support services for families affected by this condition.

We want to extend a massive thank you to everyone who participated, donated, and helped spread awareness. If you haven’t donated yet but would like to contribute, our JustGiving page is still open: Click here to donate.

At CRL, we are more than just colleagues, we are a family. And when a cause hits close to home, we step up. Thank you for making this day one to remember and for proving that even odd socks can make a difference. Let’s continue to support, raise awareness, and bring hope to those affected.
