LymphWalk 2024: Inspiring Partnership Between LymphCast and LE&RN
Each year, the Lymphatic Education & Research Network (LE&RN) organizes the Annual LymphWalk, a global fundraising initiative aimed at raising awareness about Lymphedema and other lymphatic diseases. This impactful event generates vital funds to support research, provide essential services, and advance treatments, ultimately contributing to the mission of finding a cure. Events like these not only drive financial support but also unite people worldwide in a shared commitment to improve the lives of those affected by lymphatic disorders.
This year, the LymphCast team, led by podcast host John Chuback, MD, proudly joined this meaningful cause. With $1,070 in donations, customized team shirts, and unwavering enthusiasm, the team participated in the walk, embracing the late summer air as they celebrated their collective effort. Alongside participants from around the world, the LymphWalk successfully raised $66,600, making a significant impact on the fight against lymphatic diseases. The funds raised will help facilitate groundbreaking research, develop new therapies, and provide much-needed resources for patients and caregivers.
