On Tuesday, March 1, the New York State legislature became the first governing body to officially recognize World Lymphedema Day! Lymphedema champions NYS Assemblymember Linda B. Rosenthal and NYS Senator Martin J. Golden sponsored this historic Resolution at the request of the Lymphatic Education & Research Network (LE&RN). When the New York State legislature adopted the World Lymphedema Day Resolution at the Albany Statehouse, they also honored 5-year-old Nicholas Hernandez of Riverhead, New York, as a LE&RN Youth Ambassador for his extraordinary efforts to promote lymphedema awareness and research. This is a wonderful achievement. Let's keep it going! Let friends and family know about this petition on social media and via emails.
