Imagine being told you have an incurable medical condition that will affect how you look, the clothes you can wear, the job you do, how you feel about yourself and how others view you. Discomfort, swelling, fatigue, increased risk of infection and skin changes will be a part of your life for ever. None of your friends, family, or anyone else had ever heard of it and even your GP had very little idea how to treat it. Now imagine there was nowhere to go for support, information, advice, and guidance.

The LSN cannot change the diagnosis for the 400,000 adults, children and babies living with lymphoedema in the UK, but we can listen, support, empower, educate, raise awareness and campaign for better care.

We need to raise £30,000 to help us respond to the current emergency and plan for the future of the LSN.

The LSN has been supporting people living with lymphoedema for 32 years.

Please help us to continue to do so.

Thank you.
