Lymphoedema United

Following a severe episode of cellulitis in June 2011, Matt Hazledine was diagnosed with lymphoedema in his left leg. Since then, Matt has explored nearly every available product, therapy, and surgery to manage the condition. Drawing on his extensive experience, Matt launched LymphoedemaUnited.com in 2021—a one-stop, patient-focused website. He also authored How to Live Better with Lymphoedema – Meet the Experts, a book that combines his personal challenges and solutions with trusted insights from over 20 lymphoedema specialists. Matt organises an annual charity golf day for golfers affected by lymphoedema, bringing people together from across the country while raising funds for the cause. His latest initiative, ‘Unite the Lymphoedema Community’, involves organising regional meet-ups to help people connect, share experiences, and form supportive local friendship groups. You can follow Matt on social media @LymphUnited and watch interviews and expert discussions on the LymphUnited YouTube Channel.
