Join us on the steps of the Manitoba Legislature for “Lipedema at the Leg,” Lipedema Canada’s first-ever in-person Lipedema Awareness Month event. Taking place in Winnipeg, this powerful gathering is an opportunity to raise awareness for a disease that affects 1 in 9 people assigned female at birth. We are ready to be seen, heard, and recognized.

Show your support by wearing purple or your Lipedema Canada shirts, and bring your friends and family to help make a strong, visible impact. Together, we will send the message that equitable healthcare for people with lipedema is long overdue.

This free event will also feature opportunities to connect with Lipedema Canada board members and chat with service providers, including manual lymphatic drainage therapists and compression fitters. We are also inviting Manitoba government officials to attend and witness our collective voice in action.

Bring a lawn chair, your favorite water bottle, and a few snacks as we gather, share stories, and spark important conversations about lipedema.

To end the day, be sure to visit the Esplanade Riel Bridge and the WINNIPEG sign as they light up in purple in support of Lipedema Awareness Month. Let’s make this event one to remember.
