The Marilyn Westbrook Garment Fund (MWGF) has been a huge gift to many of our lymphedema patients.

Since May, 2008 the fund has alleviated suffering and improved the quality of life for both young and old who are affected by lymphedema. It was Marilyn Westbrook's wish to ensure that no other person with lymphedema would have to suffer as she did prior to her death. Fueled by this simple yet beautiful request, many have answered Marilyn's wish and today we have changed many lymphedema patients’ lives with the fund. Our hope is to be able to reach out to many more patients, with the ultimate goal of offering coverage for LE treatment.

You can help!

This year we plan to raise at least $25,000 to continue the work of the MWGF. Please join us in our efforts by supporting the fund.

As part of our Sponsor-A-Patient Campaign, a $50 pledge will support one patient by:

• Sponsoring a patient's application including a yearly membership to the NLN

• Covering program costs to administer and continue to grow the fund.

For only $50 you can positively affect someone's life. But don't feel limited by one amount; you can make a contribution in any amount. Large or small, every dollar helps support more patients. Donors can also choose to have their name and/or logo listed. Check back frequently to track our progress on the thermometer.

On behalf of the many patients, therapists, affiliated clinics, my staff, and me, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Respectfully,

Saskia R.J. Thiadens, RN
