Spread Awareness and Reach More People
Lymphoma cancer develops in the lymph nodes and the lymphatic system. The two major types are non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and Hodgkin's lymphoma. Due to lack of awareness, many people have no idea about how serious lymphoma is. Since September is designated as Lymphoma Awareness Month, every one of us should take this opportunity to help people understand how dangerous this disease actually is.

Knowing Your Type of Lymphoma
Making an early diagnosis of cancer is a difficult task. With more than 60 subtypes, this is actually kind of understandable. The most important thing is to know which type of lymphoma you have and only then you can receive the best treatment and case-specific support services.
Light it Red for Lymphoma
To commemorate Lymphoma Awareness Month, a lot of people participate in the "Light in Red for Lymphoma" initiative organized by the Lymphoma Research Foundation. This is a global campaign to light significant landmarks and buildings in red in order to create awareness and support lymphoma survivors.
Get Updated
Get updates on prevention and treatment options - this is very important to reduce your risk of developing lymphoma. Join the Lymphoma Information Center to get free newsletters. It can also be very useful to watch media programs about the personal experiences of patients.
Spread the Word through Social Media
Spread the word through social media - go on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn - we all know they are all fantastic tools in raising awareness. Share latest information, photos and stories about lymphoma survivors. Update your cover photo and show everyone just how important this month is.
Donate Blood
Lymphoma patients may require blood transfusion because of heavy blood loss during surgery - many have a decreased ability to produce new blood cells because of chemotherapy treatment. Organize a blood donation camp and ask your friends, family and colleagues to support you and participate.
Organize a Campaign
This September, you can host campaigns and make people aware of different prevention and treatment options. Meet healthcare professionals and ask them to give a lecture on the topic. Gifts are playing a key role in spreading your message more efficiently - give them away to all attendees in the campaign. There is a whole variety of customized gift options available online such as custom T-shirts, key chains, mugs, hats, silicone rubber wristbands and many more for you to choose from.
If you are into trendy, fashionable and cost-effective accessories, then opt for wristbands. You can get these products with a variety of types, colors, fonts, sizes and styles. They are made of high quality material called silicone which is non-allergenic to skin, durable, long lasting and comfortable to wear. Lime green symbolizes lymphoma awareness. In view of their easy customizable nature, you can customize your lime green wristbands with different inspirational awareness messages and use them in your campaign to reach more people.
