Lymphodema Fashion Show




I was lucky enough to speak at a fashion show that raised money for Lymphodema patients.  It was the first time that I spoke at an event about the horrible dog bite and how it made me feel "different."  Lymphodema patients wear sleeves to reduce their swelling.  Many of the people I spoke to felt their sleeve makes them look different.  I spoke about looking in the mirror with my facial damage and thinking that people were judging me.  It was inspiring to share my story and meet these survivors!
