National Walk for Lymphedema and Lymphatic Diseases

Within a year after having lymph node removal during my surgery for cancer, I developed lymphedema. I found this website for the Lymphatic Research Foundation.  Their purpose is to raise awareness of lymphedema, and raise monies for research, treatments, and hopefully, cures.  They are having a 'walk' to raise money.  This following is from my most recent email from them with their upcoming scheduled events:

Stomp out lymphedema and lymphatic diseases!
