 More Big Newz from CastCoverz!

LemonAid Crutches and CrutchWear (bags and crutch pad covers), the pioneer in making mobility products fashionable and functional, recently went out of business. We wish Laurie Johnson Jackson, the founder of LAC, only the best as she embarks on the next “chapter” of her life. 

As their one and only distributor, we couldn’t see Laurie’s vision perish, so we did the next best thing: CastCoverz! bought out their inventory!  Over the next few weeks, we will be introducing you to the bold, vibrant crutch colors and the versatile and fashionista CrutchWear.  Today’s feature: Our fabulous rainbow of crutch colors.  You don’t have to deal with standard issue aluminum, anymore! 

LemonAid Crutches are superior construction, made of lightweight aluminum, and powder-coated for durability and vibrancy.  What’s your favorite color?  Bubblegum Pink or Candy Apple Red?  Maybe Midnight Black or Sunshine Yellow?  See our crutch page for more eye-popping crutch colors!  Tell us your favorite(s)! 

CastCoverz! SHINES on Yahoo!

Yahoo! Shine‘s video premiere “The Accidental Entrepreneur” is now LIVE!  Learn more about the amazingly inspiring story behind mompreneur Annette Giacomazzi’s founding of CastCoverz!

“My daughter had been complaining about her cast scratching her and snagging on things so I took out my 30-year old sewing machine and whipped up a simple cover for it, and a matching sling. It worked so well, I made a more colorful version. And, inspired by Halloween coming up, I then made another set. Elli was starting to get quite a few compliments at school and suddenly it hit me – this was a business!”

Inspired by Annette’s daughter, named by her son, financed by her husband, and worked by herself…CastCoverz! truly is a family business with a simple mission: to provide fun and functional products that comfort orthopedic patients.
