It's Time to Lime it Up for Lymphoma
This year in the lead up to World Lymphoma Awareness Day (WLAD) on September 15 and beyond Lymphoma Australia is encouraging people to paint the town, and themselves green, as we Lime It Up for Lymphoma.
The Lime It Up campaign is aimed at increasing national community awareness for Lymphoma and raising funds to support the much needed patient services for this cancer. Lime It Up will also help promote World Lymphoma Awareness Day with the Sydney Opera House leading the way.
In order to get Lymphoma as a cancer noticed, it is important to promote and advocate it. Wearing lime green either as a ribbon, wristband or at a dress down day is more than wearing an ordinary colour.
It's a mission, a statement and awareness for an important cause that affects thousands of men, women and children. When you wear lime green, you help put Lymphoma in the forefront and you stand up to this cancer by advocating, supporting and fighting for a cure.
