On the flier it says: an educational and awareness conference for patients, caregivers and professionals. As an attendee, I encourage all to attend this wonderful event. Just go to the lighthouse lymphedema network website and fill out the form. It costs 50.00 but it is well worth the price. It will tell you where the event will take place. It is on October 24th from 7:30am-5:00pm. There will be different sessions for you to choose from that will benefit you. You go to those sessions throughout the day. They do give a lunch break and breakfast.Please go to the website and it will have the form. If you have any questions contact me or the Lighthouse Lymphedema Network. Thanks, Jennifer Hovatter  less

We have battled this for 2 years and I'm starting to get IRATE. It is keeping us from doing many fundraisers to raise funds for lymphedema patients. This is my dream to help lymphedema patients. Can someone give me advice? I must have it in order to do the lymphedema walk. HELP PLEASE!!!! I spoke with an attorney and I was told that it would cost 1300.00 plus 4-12 months and 200.00 more dollars. I have talked with accountants, etc. We keep hitting brick walls.
    Thanks,

It is for all patients, therapists and loved ones anyone that has anything to do with lymphedema. This will be a walk scheduled for a certain day- rain or shine- each state will participate.

This walk will be great for education and awareness about lymphedema. Please let me know if you need letters. You can send thim to your state congress telling them how much this is needed. You can use mine as a template and you can pass them out to friends, family, co workers, church-EVERYWHERE.

  • Jenny Sterner Today, we lost someone from our community who meant so much to so many of us, including myself.  I will miss Pat terribly, although we never met in person.  The below is reposted from the Advocates for Lymphedema Yahoo group; it is truly a very sad day.  :( It is with great sadness that I must send this message. Pat O'Connor, Founder of Lymphedema People, Huge Advocate for those who have Lymphedema, etc., passed away this morning in his sleep,per a message that I received via the Lymphedema People Facebook Group page per his son. He leaves behind a huge group of friends and family including daughter - Emily and family, son - Patrick Jr and family as well as several sisters and other family members. Once I have more information in regards to funeral/memorial I will pass on all information. Nessa
