Spread awareness and reach more people
Lymphoma cancer develops in the lymph nodes and the lymphatic system. The two main types are non-Hodgkin lymphoma and Hodgkin lymphoma. Due to a lack of knowledge, many people have no idea how serious lymphoma is. Since September is designated as Lymphoma Awareness Month, each of us should take this opportunity to help people understand just how dangerous this disease really is.
Know your type of lymphoma
Making an early diagnosis of cancer is a difficult task. With over 60 subtypes, this is quite understandable. The most important thing is to know what type of lymphoma you have and only then can you receive the best treatment and support services specific to your case.
Light It Red For Lymphoma
To commemorate Lymphoma Awareness Month, many people participate in the “Red light for lymphoma” initiative organized by the Lymphoma Research Foundation. This is a global campaign to light significant monuments and buildings in red to raise awareness and support for lymphoma survivors.
Get update
Get updates on prevention and treatment options; this is very important to reduce the risk of developing lymphoma. Join the Lymphoma Information Center to receive free newsletters. It can also be very helpful to watch multimedia programs about patients’ personal experiences.
Spread the word through social media
Spread the word through social media: Go to Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn; we all know they are fantastic tools for raising awareness. Share the latest information, photos and stories about lymphoma survivors. Update your cover photo and show everyone how important this month is.
Donate blood
Lymphoma patients may need a blood transfusion because of the large blood loss during surgery; many have a decreased ability to make new blood cells due to chemotherapy treatment. Organize a blood drive camp and ask your friends, family and colleagues to support you and participate.
Organize a Campaign
This September, you can organize campaigns and educate people about different prevention and treatment options. Meet with health professionals and ask them to give a lecture on the subject. Giveaways play a key role in spreading your message more efficiently – give them out to all campaign attendees. There are a wide variety of personalized gift options available online such as personalized t-shirts, key chains, mugs, hats, silicone rubber bracelets and many more for you to choose from.
If you like modern, fashionable and cost-effective accessories, go for bracelets. You can get these products in a variety of types, colors, fonts, sizes, and styles. They are made of a high-quality material called silicone that is non-allergenic to the skin, durable, long-lasting and comfortable to wear. Lime green symbolizes lymphoma awareness. In view of its easy customization, you can customize your lime green wristbands with different inspirational awareness messages and use them in your campaign to reach more people.
