Help Us Design the Official USTMA Patient Meeting Sock!
We’re excited to announce that USTMA is collaborating with SickFit to create a custom aHUS & TTP sock for the USTMA 2026 Patient Meeting!

But we need your help.

We’re inviting members of the TTP and aHUS community to submit design ideas for what the sock should look like. This is a chance to create something meaningful that represents our community and will be worn by attendees at the meeting.

How to participate:
• Create a design for the sock
• Include elements that represent aHUS, TTP, or the rare disease community
• Send your design to us for consideration

Your design could help inspire the official 2026 USTMA Patient Meeting sock!

We can’t wait to see your creativity!
