How to be Listed as a Netpal or Penpal

If you, your child, or someone you know has lymphedema and would like to correspond with a special person in a faraway (or not so faraway) place who also has lymphedema, look no further than the NLN Lymphedema Pen Pals/NetPals Network!

Each issue of LymphLink includes an NLN Lymphedema PenPals/NetPals Network listing of patients and parents just like yourself seeking others to connect with by mail (or e-mail) for support and friendship. It's simple to join us and free for NLN members! Just send us:

1. Your name and mailing address,
2. Telephone number (for office use only, in case we can't read your handwriting!),
3. Indicate if you are a patient, or parent/spouse/relative of a child/person with lymphedema (child's age?),
4. Whether your lymphedema is primary or secondary,
5. If you have access to e-mail (e-mail address, if yes), and
6. Your age, if you wish.

We'll run your listing in the next issue of LymphLink (listings will run in one issue of LymphLink only, but will remain online for a few months). Also let us know if there is a special type of person you have in mind (male/female, maybe someone who has had a similar surgery or who has a similar lifestyle) and we'll list a short description, as well.

You can submit your information by:

• Postal mail sent to: NLN, Latham Square, 1611 Telegraph Avenue, Suite 111, Oakland, CA 94612-2138, or
• E-mail sent to:  nln@lymphnet.org, or
• Fax sent to: 510-208-3110, or
• Leaving the information on the NLN 800 Hotline at 1-800-541-3259.
