On Valentine’s Day, February 14th, you can show your support for lymphedema patients and the Lymphedema Treatment Act by helping us raise funds for our upcoming Lymphedema Lobby Days in Washington, DC, taking place April 18th-20th.
Anyone, anywhere, can take part in our virtual walk – it’s fun and easy! You can choose to join an existing team, create your own team, orsimply donate. Check out our Crowdrise page for details.
This will be our third Lymphedema Lobby Days in as many sessions of Congress. Over 100 volunteers are expected to travel from around the country to lobby Members of Congress for the passage of the Lymphedema Treatment Act (LTA). Lobby Days has traditionally garnered dozens of critical new cosponsors for the LTA, however, the event is not without expense. This is where you come in! Most people cannot join us in Washington, though all are welcome, but you can help support our efforts by donating today!
This is a critical year for the Lymphedema Treatment Act. We have made amazing progress, but we need your help to make it over the finish line by the end of 2016! Once a two year session of Congress is finished the whole process starts over and the bill has to be re-introduced. Passing legislating is not easy and we hope to finish the job during THIS Congress.
Please visit our CrowdRise page to learn more and support or join our walk to pass the LTA!
