Today, on National Cancer Survivors Day, we are proud to celebrate the remarkable contributions of Jackie Manthorne.

As the Founder and longtime President & CEO of the Canadian Cancer Survivor Network (CCSN), Jackie dedicated years of passionate leadership to advancing cancer survivorship advocacy across Canada. Following her retirement on April 30, we reflect with gratitude on the lasting impact she has made on the lives of cancer patients, survivors, caregivers, and families from coast to coast.

The CLF extends its heartfelt thanks to Jackie for her unwavering commitment, vision, and advocacy. Her work has empowered countless Canadians affected by cancer, and her legacy will continue to inspire future generations. We wish her a well-deserved and fulfilling retirement.

We deeply value our longstanding connection with CCSN and our shared commitment to patient education, advocacy, and providing trusted information. We look forward to continuing this important work alongside CCSN's new Executive Director, Lindsay Timm.

If you or someone you love has been affected by cancer, we encourage you to subscribe to CCSN's free eNewsletter and explore the organization's valuable resources and webinar series, available at no cost to the cancer community, at: www.survivornet.ca

Lymphedema can happen to anyone.

While it is often associated with cancer treatment, lymphedema can also develop as a result of surgery, radiation therapy, infection, trauma, congenital conditions, obesity, or chronic venous disease.

Knowing the signs and symptoms is important. Early recognition and treatment can make a significant difference, so be sure to seek medical advice if you suspect you may have lymphedema.

Foot health matters for everyone. Our feet support mobility, balance, independence, and overall quality of life — yet they are often overlooked until pain, injury, swelling, or other concerns arise.

For people living with lymphedema, especially when the feet, ankles, or legs are affected, foot care becomes even more important. Swelling, skin changes, reduced mobility, and difficulty finding properly fitting footwear can increase the risk of discomfort, injury, infection, and complications such as cellulitis.

At the same time, foot health is connected to whole-body wellbeing. Whether you are managing lymphedema yourself, supporting someone who is, or simply looking for practical prevention-focused information, small daily habits can make a meaningful difference.

Explore our Learning Library collection, “Lower Extremity Lymphedema,” featuring trusted articles on foot care, skin care, mobility, and managing lower-limb lymphedema: www.tinyurl.com/LowerExtremityFoot (or visit the link in our bio)

Whether you are living with lymphedema, supporting someone who is, or caring for patients in your practice, this collection offers practical information to support awareness, prevention, and better day-to-day care.
