Next week, on September 12th, two individuals working hard to pass the Lymphedema Treatment Act will be recognized at the Rare Voice Awards in Washington, D.C.
Fourteen-year-old Sarah Meyer, who has attended several of our annual Lymphedema Lobby Days on Capitol Hill, is a finalist in the Youth category. Lindsay Manson from Representative Reichert’s office, our lead House sponsor, is a finalist in the Congressional Staff category.
This event is hosted by the Rare Disease Legislative Advocates organization. Primary lymphedema is associated with over 40 different rare diseases.
If you are in the D.C. area, we invite you to attend. The awards ceremony is free and open to the public, but you must register in advance and space is limited. More information is available here.
Thanks to the tireless efforts of our advocates throughout the nation, we are inching closer and closer to passing the Lymphedema Treatment Act. On this Labor Day, we salute you.
Thank you for your work to pass the LTA and improve the lives of millions of Americans affected by lymphedema!
