Some of Montgomery County’s finest public servants showed
their compassion for others and supported a good cause by sporting some
outrageous, yet fashionable, mismatched socks under their uniforms for one day
last week.

County Sheriff’s Department staffers participated in the annual
“Rock Your Socks World Down Syndrome Day” campaign on March 21, 2017, to raise
awareness about Down syndrome, a genetic chromosomal disorder. The idea to
participate came from Deputy Kayla M. Lochner-Franz whose uncle, Mike, had the
syndrome.

“It’s an honor to do it every year. I like to keep carrying
on awareness in memory of him,” said Lochner-Franz, adding her uncle, who grew
up in the Manayunk area of Philadelphia, passed away at 51 years of age.
Lochner-Franz explained the campaign encourages people to
find creative ways to advocate for the rights of those with Down syndrome and
to celebrate the wonderful things about people with the syndrome.

About a dozen deputies participated in the “Rock Your
Socks” campaign and they had to contribute to a Down syndrome charity in order
to get permission to don their colorful socks.
World Down Syndrome Day is held on the 21st day of the third
month, which signifies the uniqueness of the triplication of the 21st chromosome,
which leads to Down syndrome, according to the Down Syndrome Association of
Delaware.
The colorful socks certainly were fun to look out and
created a buzz at the courthouse but more importantly they brought awareness to
a worthy cause.
