Portraits by Peggy: Lymphedema My Story

Hi everyone, I know my Vlogs are normally photography related, but today, we are going to talk about something that is very important to me. March is Lymphedema Awareness month. If you have never heard of lymphedema before right now, well this story is for you. Please take the time to watch this video, you never know, it just might change your life or someone you knows’ life.

I and about 10 million other Americans suffer from the lifelong effects of Lymphedema and children are born every day with life-threatening lymphatic diseases. We will never win the fight against this disfiguring, life-threatening disorder alone, we must bring awareness to people and demand research in order to stop this condition that affects so many.

I am a proud member of LE&RN , please join myself, Kathy Bates and many, many others as we strive for education, research, and treatment for Lymphedema. It’s easy to join us, just click: http://lymphaticnetwork.org/

The Lymphedema Treatment Act (LTA) is a federal bill that aims to improve insurance coverage for the medically necessary, doctor-prescribed compression supplies that are the cornerstone of lymphedema treatment. Take a minute and follow this link and see how quick and easy you can contact your member of Congress and let your voice be heard. Please join us in helping! http://lymphedematreatmentact.org/
