Worry Less Design Is ‘In The Running’ For A Full Speed Launch Stateside

Having started their card and gift business, Worry Less Design out of frustration of not being able to find suitable products for their cyclist friends, twin sisters Christie Page and Caroline Adamthwaite are now stepping up a gear with the launch of their sports-related products into the States.

Taking a somewhat different tack to most card and gift companies, instead of electing to show at one of the more traditional trade shows, the Hampshire-based publisher will debut in a few weeks time at the Rock ‘n’ Roll Health & Fitness Expo in San Antonio, Texas.

As well as collecting their race packs, runners are keen to discover the latest in running technologies, fitness apparel, health and nutrition information – and of course greeting cards and gifts which tap into their sporty lifestyles!

Following the initial exposure at the Expo, Worry Less Design will then officially launch their full collection on Etsy in the US, but with some ‘muscle’ behind even this. Nicky Mckerlie, a personal trainer and fitness expert with a background in business management, who is based in Round Rock, Texas is to head up Worry Less Design as the brand’s USA Etsy store manager.
