Hello Summer

Today is the first official day of Summer in the USA.  Summer is the hardest time for us Lymphies, so we need to stick together.  This is also the perfect opportunity to raise Lymphedema awareness for how tough it is for us in the summer.

For our next #MOVETHATLYMPH challenge, we will do a #60DayChallenge. You MUST share your posts in The Lymphedema Running & Fitness Club (LRFC) closed FB group or on Instagram with the hashtag #movethatlymph #lymphiestrong and the day number of your workout.

  20. I am entering the challenge, to A) Hold me accountable B) I always like a good challenge C) Motivate others with Lymphedema or any other life altering issue D) I have worked to hard to not be disabled so I will continue to #movethatlymph through exercise. The compression is just an added bonus if I win, if I don’t I am buying some new for myself anyways… I always like sporting fun colors that get people to ask why I am wearing it and spread awareness about Lymphedema for the people I know who still need to hide it to be comfortable with themselves.

  29. I’m Jessica Raymond on Facebook. I am doing this because I do better at following through when I am accountable to a person or challenge. Goals are: trade some fat/fluid for muscle tone, strengthen my core, and tire myself out so I sleep better at night. Exercises of choice are walking, hiking, yoga, and will try to get some swimming in.
