About the Founder
The Rivera Foundation began as Ninjas Fighting Lymphedema Foundation — a movement born from Amy Rivera’s personal journey with lymphedema.
After living undiagnosed for years, Amy turned her struggle into a mission: to educate, advocate, and empower others navigating the same path. What started as a bold effort to raise awareness has grown into a trusted foundation focused on helping individuals not only manage lymphedema — but thrive through it.
Today, The Rivera Foundation continues that work, creating a space where compassion, knowledge, and community meet.
