House bill (HR930):
Our House bill was reintroduced earlier this month, on the 7th. A wonderful press release from our House sponsors can be read here. Please contact your Representative by email and phone if you haven’t since reintroduction this year.

Update on our Valentine’s Day Walk:
Our “Love the Lymphedema Treatment Act” walk on the 14th was a huge success! Our heartfelt thanks to all our teammates and donors! We are 95% of the way to reaching our goal of $20,000. We are keeping our CrowdRise fundraising page open until the end of the month, in case you meant to donate but haven’t had a chance.
