If you attended the June WOCN Conference in Orlando you'll remember the closing session with spunky Katherine Jeter addressing us. She told us she would ride her bike for a charity funding 70 miles on her 70th birthdayto raise $70,000. Well here's the story of her success. www.railstotrails.org/newsandpubs/news/features/2008_12_Jeter.html

Our first speaker at the spring conference was the renown Lymphedema expert Steve Norton from Philadelphia. His talk on Lymphedema was excellent. He trains Lymphedema decongestant techniques & Manual drainage all over the country with his 2 week course. The field of specialists is about 80% Physical Therapists but he has also trained R.N.'s.

Go to Mr. Norton's website below to learn a bit about this complicated and diverse disease. Perhaps an inquiry to him may help you find a specialist in your area that he has trained.
