Event Description
Join us for the second annual CA Run/Walk to Fight Lymphedema & Lymphatic Diseases, presented by LE&RN, BSN Medical (Premier National Sponsor), and Tactile Medical (Presenting Sponsor) in beautiful Santa Monica, California. Whether you're a serious runner, or just want to get a bit of exercise on a Sunday morning, this 5K walking/running course on the beach is sure to be just what the doctor ordered. The Lymphatic Education & Research Network (LE&RN) has been hosting this event in NY for 7 years, and this year they've expanded to the West Coast once again.
Join hundreds of LE&RN supporters as they run or walk on behalf of the estimated 10 million Americans and 140 million worldwide who suffer with lymphedema and other lymphatic diseases. LE&RN's mission is to fight lymphatic disease and lymphedema through education, research and advocacy.
