Ninjas Fighting Lymphedema Foundation is a 501 (c) 3 founded by a lymphedema patient and spokesperson Amy Rivera. Amy was born with primary lymphedema but was misdiagnosed for over 30 years, leaving her disabled and isolated. She truly thought she was the only one who was suffering in silence. Amy realized that this community needed a voice and she established this foundation with clear goals in mind.

​

NFLF is committed to helping patients, schools, hospitals, other nonprofits, and entire communities to better understand the lymphedema epidemic and how they can take a more active role in creating awareness.
