Will Miles is a young man living with lymphatic disease. We asked him to tell us what it's like to live with primary lymphedema and to encourage you to give to our annual appeal.
My name is Will Miles and I’m a 25-year-old from Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. When I was 5 years old, I was diagnosed with primary lymphedema after a year of trying to find the cause of the mysterious swelling in my foot and ankle. I spent my childhood managing my treatment the best I could, primarily through MLD (manual lymph drainage massage) and compression garments. As an active young kid who loved to play baseball, basketball, and golf, this was a tough reality, but I learned to stick to my treatment plan and it kept my lymphedema mostly under control. I stuck with golf due to it being the least taxing on my legs and upon graduating from high school, I received a scholarship to play for the University of South Carolina.

My four years at USC were amazing, but they did not go without some challenges from lymphedema. I had numerous hospitalizations for cellulitis infections, ranging from three days to a week. At the end of my four years I racked up two collegiate wins and was named Golfweek All-American honorable mention as well as Second Team All-SEC. The summer after graduating, I had the first of two surgeries in Boston at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center with Dr. Dhruv Singhal and his team. This debulking procedure helped improve the size of my legs and reduce the chance of infections. Fortunately, post-surgery I haven’t had any infections and have seen a great improvement in my legs. I will always be grateful to Dr. Singhal and his team for their work and research to help me and others with lymphedema live a better life with this disease. And I will always be grateful to LE&RN for connecting me with Dr. Singhal and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, a LE&RN Center of Excellence.

Upon graduating from USC, I turned professional and have continued to chase my dream of making it to golf’s top stage, the PGA Tour. I also got married last year to my wife, Sarah. Along the way, I hope to use this platform to raise awareness for people living with lymphedema. I continue to support LE&RN for this very reason. My mom has also been very active with LE&RN and currently serves on the board of directors. I know LE&RN will continue to raise awareness, dollars, and advocate for people with lymphedema and fight for a better quality of life and eventually a cure for this disease! I hope that you will support LE&RN too.
We are fortunate to have a family impacted by lymphatic disease generously pledging a dollar-for-dollar match, up to $83,000. That means your donation will go twice as far as we move forward in achieving our shared vision and goals.

You can give safely and securely at CureLymph.org, or send your donation in the mail to our mailing address:

The choice not to vaccinate, or to partially vaccinate, is just that, a choice. As a parent, you have the ability to choose whether or not to vaccinate your children.

Vaccinations are designed to help the immune system build up a protection against disease. This happens through administering a weakened form of the virus, proteins, or toxins from the organism.

There are some people, perhaps those in the anti-vaccination movement, who believe that the administration of any form of the virus, whether it be weakened, or killed, is enough to make you sick.

Some believe that the risks of vaccinating do not outweigh the benefits. Of course, many would also argue that vaccinations are the only safe and effective method to protect yourself and others against the risk of infection.

Parents are responsible for the health and well-being of their children and it is up to each individual to decide if vaccinating is the right choice. Delaying or refusing to vaccinate your kids creates certain risks and it’s important to know what those risks look like.

Always keeping Family and Friends updated. The Jazzman
Dear Walgreens Customers,

We know there is growing concern as the outbreak and impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) continues to evolve. Ensuring the health, safety and well-being of the communities we serve across the U.S. has always been a top priority, and is especially critical at this time.

Most importantly, we want you to know, we're prepared to take care of you and your loved ones on your terms. We're working around the clock to monitor the situation, while partnering with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and other state and local health officials on response efforts, as well as to provide you with the most up-to-date information. Here are more ways we're supporting our valued customers in our pharmacies and online:

As always, Walgreens pharmacy teams are here for you to address any questions or concerns related to your prescription drug needs -- in your neighborhood store, over the phone and 24/7 online through our Pharmacy Chat. Picking up prescriptions is as convenient as a drive-thru trip, or you can have them delivered to your home next day. At this time, Walgreens is also waiving delivery fees for all eligible prescriptions, beginning Friday, March 13th.

To ensure you have access to the medications you need, our pharmacists are also continuing to partner with various health plans, physicians and state officials, and can speak to you about options like 90-day refills, early refill authorizations and prescription delivery.

As a reminder, Walgreens Find Care on our mobile app can connect you to a wide selection of health care services from local providers, as well as various telehealth options and services.

In our stores, teams are working diligently to take precautions and steps to ensure a clean and safe environment. We're making every effort to make the products you need available, and while we may experience temporary shortages of certain items in some locations, we're continuing to work closely with our supplier partners to meet customers' needs. Due to extremely high demand, we are taking additional steps to best manage our inventory so that the essentials you're looking for can be more widely available.

Our website (www.walgreens.com) also updates with the latest available store inventory information frequently throughout each day. And to make online shopping even easier, also beginning this Friday and for the time being, we'll be offering free delivery on any purchase on Walgreens.com, with no minimum purchase required.

As an additional resource for information, prevention and the latest guidance from the CDC, we've also launched a dedicated webpage at: https://www.walgreens.com/coronavirus.

Our Walgreens pharmacists and team members are people you know and trust who live right in your communities. Our employees' health and safety are also of the utmost concern. Our clinical and safety teams are keeping our team members up-to-date with the latest information from public health officials and the CDC. We are also encouraging team members to stay at home if they are sick or showing signs or symptoms of possible illness and asking them to limit travel.

We remain committed to you, and to doing our part as an organization to champion the health and wellbeing of every community in America.

Sincerely,

Richard Ashworth
President, Walgreens
