Hey All!
More than 30 million Americans suffer from varicose veins or chronic venous insufficiency (CVI).*,**
Because there is a prevailing misconception that varicose veins are a cosmetic issue, only 10 percent of people who suffer from vein disease actually seek treatment.*** That’s why we’re getting together to share knowledge and break myths about this common, yet serious condition!
Rethink Varicose Veins is a campaign that encourages individuals to think differently about varicose veins and understand that if left untreated, they can progress to a more serious form of venous disease known as CVI.
Summer Sanders, U.S. Olympic Gold Medalist, television correspondent, blogger and busy mother-of-two will be sharing her personal experience with vein disease, how she treated the condition head-on and her role in the Rethink Varicose Veins campaign.
Join this party to learn about the signs, symptoms and risk factors of varicose veins and CVI and latest minimally-invasice treatment options available.
Trivia questions will be asked throughout the Twitter Party and five lucky winners who answer the questions correctly will receive a $50 VISA gift card from The Motherhood.
When: Thursday, July 18 at 2 p.m. ET (the party will last one hour)

I’ve had two friends under go surgery for varicose veins, and no it wasn’t for cosmetic reasons.
I have a few flat spider veins I’d love to have disappear.
Drat! Won’t be able to attend. I’ll check into further info on this.
I’m so glad I didn’t miss it..this runs in my family, and is just ugly anyway, but I have trouble finding someone who specializes in it and who will take an approach that is cosmetically pleasing (one suggested surgery, but these days?? Aren’t there lasers?)
Thanks so much. This was informative session. And I won one of the GCs!
