John Lee Cronin is not a fan of normal socks. He’s crazy about those that have wacky colors and humorous designs. To Cronin, a young man with Down syndrome, these socks are more than just a fashion accessory. They can be a way to bring joy to others.
約翰．李．克洛寧不喜歡普通的襪子。他熱愛那些色彩古怪且設計幽默的襪子。對克洛寧這個患有唐氏症的年輕人來說，這些襪子不僅是時尚配件。它們可以是帶給別人歡樂的一種方式。
Cronin has turned his passion into a career by teaming up with his dad to found John’s Crazy Socks. The company sells a wide variety of socks, all designed by John himself. Additionally, John writes a handwritten note to every customer as a personal touch and even hand-delivers packages to orders that are nearby.
克洛寧與父親合作創立了「約翰瘋狂襪」（John’s Crazy Socks）而將熱情轉變為事業。這間公司販售各式各樣的襪子，全都是由約翰自己設計的。此外，約翰還自己手寫小紙條送給每個客戶作為個人化的表示，而在附近的訂單他甚至親自送去。
John and his father aren’t just committed to selling socks, though. They give away 5 percent of all earnings to the Special Olympics and make it a priority to offer jobs to people with differing abilities.
不過，約翰和他的父親並不只致力於賣襪子。他們將所有利潤的百分之五捐給特殊奧林匹克運動會，並優先提供身心障礙者工作機會。
John’s Crazy Socks is a dream come true for the two, as their company has made millions since its launch in 2016. Despite this success, their goal has always remained the same: sell funny socks to make people smile.
約翰瘋狂襪對兩人來說是美夢成真，因為他們的公司自從二○一六年成立以來已賺了數百萬美元。儘管成功，但他們的目標始終如一：賣有趣的襪子讓人開心。
