More than 238,000 Quebecers suffer from lymphedema. That’s a huge number for a little-known disease.
All these people need courage and hope:
Lymphedema is an incurable but treatable disease.
Your donations respond to the distress and immediate needs of those affected by lymphedema. The LAQ can help someone decide who to consult for a diagnosis, where to find recognized decongestant treatments, when to order compression garments, how to obtain financial support, and how to undertake lymphedema self-management. The LAQ can help those affected by lymphedema through all these steps, thanks to your donations.
We also use your donations to raise awareness among the medical profession, obtain more help from the healthcare network, and support the all-too-scarce research in this field.
In this way, you can make a real difference to the quality of life of lymphedema sufferers. Every dollar counts and makes all the difference for those who will have to live with lymphedema for the rest of their lives. Thank you for your generosity!
Your legacy to the lymphedema cause
A planned gift allows you to make an important gesture in line with your financial and philanthropic objectives, while offering significant leverage to the LAQ.
Thanks to the financial and tax advantages of planned giving, you can help far more than you ever thought possible.

What a wonderful legacy left by Louise Mercure and her family, who added a gift of art to her financial legacy. Louise’s dedication to her condition was admirable. Her resilience, perseverance and artistry will have impressed many. It was with deep sadness that we learned of her passing, and it is with enormous gratitude to her memory and to her family that we welcome the generosity of the donation made to the LAQ.
August 2022 – Mrs Louise Mercure
