Mismatched Sock Day 2025

About This Event

Donate $10 and wear mismatched socks on Thursday April 3rd to show support for VWM families worldwide!

 Snap a picture of your mismatched socks and tag us @vwmff and @samvsvwm on the day.

Why mismatched socks? Sam Buck is an 14 year-old boy who was diagnosed with VWM on April 4, 2013. Like most VWM kids, despite their disabilities, he is happy and full of personality. Sam loves expressing his personality through his clothing and wears mismatched socks to school every day. Help us support Sam and all VWM kids on (nearly) the 12th anniversary of his diagnosis by wearing your mismatched shoes or socks.

Vanishing White Matter disease (VWM) is a very rare neurological condition that destroys myelin, the brain’s white matter. In doing so, it permanently affects transmission of brain signals to the rest of the body. VWM primarily affects children and is untreatable, incurable and terminal.
