We are pleased to share with you a new infographic that outlines the many causes of primary and secondary lymphedema in the United States, including incidence rates, entitled “Lymphedema: Not One Disease.”

This piece, along with our earlier “6 Things You May Not Know About Lymphedema” infographic and our free information cards, can all be seen, downloaded or ordered via the Increasing Awareness page of our website.

We are now half way to reaching our end-of-year giving goal. These funds will enable us to continue to create and distribute these educational, awareness-building materials. In 2016 we spent nearly $7,000 on printing alone, and distributed over 200,000 cards!

There are two easy ways you can donate:

Through PayPal: (no PayPal account needed, just a credit or debit card)

By mailing a check to: The Lymphedema Advocacy Group, PO Box 1682, Carrboro, NC 27510

We are still hard at work advancing the Lymphedema Treatment Act in Congress. In our next newsletter we’ll have a complete report on our progress to date.

Thank you for your support!
