Story

<p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; color: black; font-family: Arial;">Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; color: black; font-family: Arial;">As most of you will know I work for the victims of asbestos exposure which often occurred through work or because of exposure in the home to those whose jobs exposed them to asbestos.&nbsp; I have always felt there is more to be done both directly like this and by simply raising awareness of the effects of asbestos which is still in use around the world.&nbsp; </span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; color: black; font-family: Arial;">Most cases here in the UK are the result of exposure&nbsp;at a time when the dangers of asbestos were widely known but the ability of people to avoid exposure through work was minimal.&nbsp; Sadly, mesothelioma is terminal.&nbsp; If we can work to help victims with support, assistance and help medical professionals to develop treatments perhaps we can change that whilst giving comfort to those for whom treatments will inevitably come too late.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; color: black; font-family: Arial;">Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
