Join us in supporting World Lymphedema Day 2019!
Our Goal
To make cures for lymphedema and lymphatic diseases a global priority.
Get Involved
WLD is an annual advocate-driven celebration. This is our opportunity to educate the world about the extent of this global "lymphedemic." This includes lymphatic diseases (LD), primary and secondary lymphedema (LE), lipedema (LI), lymphatic filariasis (LF), lymphatic malformations (LM), and the full lymphatic continuum (LC) of diseases impacted by the lymphatic system. The success of this day depends on your efforts to educate the world. Click here to see all of the ways that you can get involved.
Sign the Petition
Here is something you can do right now to show your support. Sign the petition to the World Health Organization (WHO) asking that LD AWARENESS AND CURES be the 2019 global health challenge initiative. Here, you can also leave your comments and share your story.
