Hope Starts Here
$85,000 Match for Hope
The Lymphatic Education & Research Network (LE&RN) is leading the fight through education, research, and advocacy to find better treatments and cures for millions of people who live with lymphatic diseases.
Together, we’ve driven historic progress, establishing the NIH’s National Commission on Lymphatic Diseases, launching the first CDC-funded national lymphedema awareness campaign, securing over $12 million in research funding through the Peer-Reviewed Medical Research Program (PRMRP), gaining recognition for lymphatic diseases at the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H), and expanding 77 Centers of Excellence across the United States and in 20 countries.
Without your support, we couldn’t offer free monthly symposiums featuring leaders in the field, provide scholarships to therapists pursuing certification in lymphedema treatment, or secure grants for researchers engaged in translational research.
The future of these programs and the ambitious agendas leading to treatments and cures is in your hands.
Right now, your gift goes twice as far thanks to an $85,000 Match for Hope from a generous family affected by lymphatic disease.
Please donate so we can continue our joint efforts on behalf of all who live with lymphatic diseases.

“The lymphatic system has been neglected for far too long…Today, there are no FDA-approved therapies for lymphatic diseases. Research is essential to change that.”
