What About Us: Living with Lymphedema at The Duplex

More people suffer from Lymphedema than MS, Muscular Dystrophy, ALS, Parkinsons Disease, and AIDS. Combined. But we dont talk about this incurable disease. What About Us: Living with Lymphedema brings you Tina Himayas story, from diagnosis to one hundred nights in hospitals to today, where she is an advocate for more research, funding, and visibility. Through song and storytelling, Tina finds her voice as a person living with Primary Lymphedema. She encourages those who suffer silently from this disease to stand up and make their stories known. "Making lymphedema (LE) and lymphatic diseases (LD) a national priority requires engaging the public in a way that helps them understand the impact of these diseases. The arts remain a most powerful way to share such a story, and Tina Himaya does just this with her breakthrough musical, What About Us: Living with Lymphedema. Do yourself a favor - go, and bring your loved ones with you." William Repicci, CEO of the Lymphatic Education and Research Network This is her story, but its our fight. Join LE&RN and the New York Chapter for this unforgettable evening at the Upstairs Cabaret Theatre of The Duplex in the West Village on March 4, March 11, and March 22. All performances benefit LE&RN
