March is Lymphoedema Awareness Month (1 – 31 March)

The Australasian Lymphology Association (ALA) is inviting your support to generate awareness of the early signs and symptoms of Lymphoedema among high risk groups, and encouraging a deeper understanding and empathy for sufferers of Lymphoedema throughout the community.

We are supporting a fundraising and awareness initiative inviting individuals, businesses and healthcare workers to raise awareness about Lymphoedema by hosting an Iced Tea Party to support education and vital research into Lymphoedema.
