Lymphedema Awareness Day!

The National Lymphedema Network is proud to be the organization that initiated this global movement to increase awareness for lymphedema. Our founder, Saskia R.J. Thiadens, advocated to make March 6 Lymphedema Day in honor of the day the NLN became incorporated as a nonprofit. Now it has grown to be known as World Lymphedema Day. To learn more about "Lymphedema D-Day", as it was first referred to, watch the video below with Saskia herself talking about the NLN.
