Pediatric lymphoedema with Brittany Williams, Founder of Brylan’s Feat Foundation - a podcast by Heal Thy Skin by DermHealth.Co
from 2021-01-25T22:39:47
Pediatric lymphoedema occurs when a child has a chronic accumulation of fluid that causes a region of their body to swell. That unresolved swelling can lead to the buildup of fibrotic tissue along with skin changes that can cause mobility issues. Pediatric or primary lymphoedema is rare; the incidence is about 1 in 100,000 children. About 90 per cent of children with lymphoedema have secondary lymphedema, which is much more common.
To open Heal thy Skin podcast's third season, Marni will be speaking with Brittany Williams. Founder of Brylan’s Feat Foundation.
Brittany is a mother of four, wife, and the woman behind Brylan's Feat Foundation. Her relationship with lymphoedema began when her daughter, Brylan, was diagnosed with primary lymphoedema in 2014. Since that time, Brittany's goal has been to advocate and be the voice for her daughter and all children living with lymphoedema. She recently joined the Lymphedema Advocacy Group in Washington, D.C. to share her story and support the Lymphoedema Treatment Act.
Brittany's passion is to make a positive impact on the lymphoedema community and provide assistance in receiving treatment to children in need all over the world.
Don't miss this incredible episode as Brittany shares her family's journey with pediatric lymphoedema.
