The Raynaud’s Association is pleased to recognize the following companies whose financial contributions help support our mission in serving the needs of Raynaud’s sufferers:

 

2K Innovations Inc. (View Products)

2K Innovations Inc. was formed to provide unique product solutions that help make life’s battle a little more comfortable, simpler and more fun.

The Volt™ heated indoor/outdoor slipper was developed as a personal challenge to the founder of 2K Innovations.  He was looking to create a solution for those who suffer from cold feet, particularly the founder’s mom and others with Raynaud’s.  Actively involved in the heated clothing industry for the past decade, he has been focused on developing products that help keep motorcyclists, our military and outdoor enthusiasts warm.  But none of these products were particularly suited for a woman in her late fifties who just needed a simple solution to help keep her feet warm with something that was easy to use, reliable and worked as advertised.  With his mother as inspiration, he made this his mission in forming 2K Innovations.

HandCandy Mittens (View Products)

HandCandy Mittens was created in 2006 by sole proprietor Charlotte Reid. While attending a hockey game, she noticed that her store-bought gloves just weren’t cutting it in terms of providing sufficient warmth. With over 25 years experience in sewing and design, Charlotte had always wanted to learn how to knit, but it turned out that the intricate formulas involved in knitting more than a scarf weren’t for her.

Inspired by a pair of her mother-in-law’s mittens made from two layers of wool from old sweaters hand-stitched together, Charlotte crafted a unique design from recycled sweaters lined with new polar fleece, and HandCandy Mittens was born! When she wore the prototype pair to the next hockey game, they succeeded in keeping her warm and generated lots of demand from friends asking “where did you get your mittens?” Now Charlotte is known in her town as the Mitten Lady!

In founding HandCandy Mittens, Charlotte’s mission is to do her part in helping to preserve the environment while bringing some fashionable fun to those seeking a little extra warmth in their lives. Her mittens bring a smile to your heart and a warm hug to your hands.

ProNeema™ (View Products)

Over 5,000 years ago, our ancestors knew that the oil from the Neem Tree provided special medicinal powers to cure a wide variety of ailments.  ProNeema was developed in 2005 by a Pharmacist to help leverage the healing powers of Neem Oil in preventing foot complications in patients with diabetes.

Given the fact that ProNeema also contains an ingredient (L-Arginine) that can help increase circulation, along with peppermint oil, which helps reduce pain, the manufacturer  the potential benefits ProNeema could offer to Raynaud’s sufferers and is a long-standing supporter of the Raynaud’s Association.

Wristies, Inc. (View Products)

On a cold and snowy winter’s day, 10 year old KK Gregory was out building a snow fort when her wrists started to hurt because they were cold and wet. She remedied the problem by creating the first pair of Wristies, wearing them under her coat and mittens. She tried out her novel and unique creation on her scout troop who encouraged her to make more. Further encouraged by her mom and dad to see herself as an inventor, KK applied for a patent, trademarked the name Wristies, and started her own small company!

From Wristies®’ beginning in 1994 on the dining room table. it grew to take over the living room, kitchen table, basement, upstairs bedroom, loft, and garage. Now, located in a renovated cotton mill in Lowell, Massachusetts, Wristies are produced in a more traditional manufacturing environment. The company keeps growing with a whole lot of help from its best resource, its customers! Wristies is grateful for all of the feedback, ideas, and suggestions for new markets and products from its loyal and supportive customers. Thinking back to the advice KK gave during her interview on Oprah, if you have a good idea, “go for it!,” we continue to develop Wristies to its fullest.
