LRF is the beacon of hope for those suffering with lymphatic disease. Hope can flourish when you believe that what you do can make a difference, that your actions can bring a future different than the present. We invite you to volunteer your time to LRF.

There are many kinds of volunteers, and at LRF we think there is a very important role for all of them. Some volunteers are quite sophisticated and know more about fund raising than many professionals. Others have generous spirits and are willing to be involved in a noble cause to make a difference. And then there are those that simply "spread the word" with great passion and engage others to volunteer and support the cause.

Often time children and young adults are terrific volunteers. They are dedicated, enthusiastic, and willing to accept real responsibility. In the process, they learn an important lesson...the value of "volunteerism".

Volunteers are a critical resource in helping the Lymphatic Research Foundation achieves its mission. Each year we set our goals higher, and in order to reach those goals, we need you! And remember, when you give, you also truly receive. Whatever you choose to do, it is the "doing" that matters.

If you've been putting off getting involved, think about this...

Research in the past decade has uncovered the genes that causes lymphedema; pretty much figured out mechanisms involved with vascular/lymphatic anomalies; identified the role of lymphatics in the spread of cancer and a myriad of other disease processes; discovered the lymphatic system's immune capabilities, and is currently in stages of searching for therapies that will provide improved treatment options and cures. The more awareness there is about disorders of the lymphatic system, the more money will be raised. The more money raised, the more intense the research will be. The more intense the research, the faster a cure or treatment will be made available to millions who suffer from lymphatic disorders, lymphedema, and diseases impacted by the lymphatics. Just imagine what could happen if we worked together to increase awareness and funding. By volunteering, you can make a lasting difference for children and adults living with lymphatic disease. We have many types of volunteer opportunities available.

You may also support LRF through in-kind giving. The generous donation of products and services allow LRF to use its valuable resources for programmatic activities. Visit LRF's Wish List.
