Please support this great day, it's great for families who have children with lymphoedema, they will love the day, and let's them know their not on their own. So please register it's a fab day!!!
Thank you for posting this information. I am amazed it is a free event! I have selected Lymphaletics 2014 as my cause on the easyfundraising site and I will try and encourage others to do the same.
I have been asked to be involved with this day as a sufferer and as a sportsman. I was diagnosed at 13 with primary lymphodema in both my legs. Since then I have played professional football and traveled to New Zealand to play cricket professionally too. I hope my achievements and experience can help younger people who suffer.
