Fundraising for Lipoedema UK
Lipoedema UK relies on donations to continue our work. We are grateful to all our superstar members who give up their time to raise funds. Some people have chosen to raise money by committing to physical challenges such as sponsored swims or marathons, while others have organised fundraisers. These events don’t have to be big and difficult to arrange – a fundraising coffee morning, tea party or bake sale can be a fantastic way to raise money and awareness and to spend time with friends!
Lisa’s nude charity swim!
Lipoedema UK member Lisa completed a brilliant and unusual fundraiser – a naked swim in a leisure centre, which raised more than £1,000.
‘My naked swim was a way to truly embrace my size and body for what it is,’ Lisa said. ‘It was a very liberating experience! Plus, swimming and moving in water generally are great ways to get the lymph moving, so they’re great for people with lipoedema.’
To read more about Lisa’s event and how she lives with Lipoedema, visit her Member Stories page. Her JustGiving page is still open if you’d like to make a contribution.
Pai’s London Marathon
Pai ran the marathon for Lipoedema UK for two reasons. ‘My experience is that many GPs are unfamiliar with lipoedema and frequently misdiagnose it. I wanted to raise awareness. I also wanted to raise money for research, leading to the treatment and management of this debilitating condition.’ Her friends and family found donating through JustGiving simple and fast. Payment details are secure and JustGiving never sends unwanted emails. Once donated, the money raised is sent directly to the charity, making it an efficient way to help Lipoedema UK cut costs. Pai’s marathon task raised £595. One kind giver on Pai’s page wrote: ‘You are an inspiration Pai. I am so pleased that Lipoedema UK has helped you find a diagnosis and how you are helping us help more people struggling with lipoedema. Love your energy, too!’ Read more
