This is a great photo and article on the fantastic contribution of drug companies in countries like Malawi. And while the story is one of hope, great that her children won't be faced with the same future, I am still left wondering what is being done for her, to help her manage and improve her lymphoedema.

Tomorrow is June 1st, and the beginning of Lipoedema Awareness Month. The board of Lipoedema Australia have lots to share with you over the coming weeks, as we shine a spotlight on lipoedema, and provide some information & resources that you can share with your extended community to help grow their understanding of lipoedema.
We have selected a theme for the month – “Empowered. Together.” to show the strength we have as a collective.

Empowered. Together. emphasises the importance of coming together as a community, sharing experiences, knowledge, and resources to navigate the challenges associated with living with lipoedema.

Through open dialogue, education, and advocacy, we can empower one another by promoting self-care, body positivity, and effective treatment options. This collaborative approach helps to foster a sense of belonging and resilience, while also increasing awareness and recognition of lipoedema within our extended communities.

By raising awareness and advocating for better understanding and support, we strive to create a society that acknowledges the unique needs and experiences of people with lipoedema. This inclusive environment enables us to lead fulfilling lives and embrace our inner strength with pride and confidence.

Our weekly themes are:
Week 1 - Getting to know Lipoedema Australia
Week 2 - Promoting and Educating around lipoedema (How to)
Week 3 - Connection & Support
Week 4 - Advocate - for yourself and for lipoedema

It's a condition estimated to affect some 300,000 Australians, but advocates are concerned many are falling through the cracks.
