Story

Jenna and I are raising money for the London Asbestos Support Awareness Group. Many years ago, tradesman were exposed to asbestos on a daily basis, and were told by their superiors, after being covered in asbestos dust, to drink a pint of milk to prevent any negative health outcomes.

Sadly, my uncle, Tony Dulwich, developed mesothelioma many years later and has been fighting it ever since. Having seen first hand the hardship he has gone through, Jenna and I are raising money to support this fantastic charity who help sufferers of the incurable disease.

We appreciate that times are tough, inflation is rising, and we are entering a recession. Therefore, we greatly appreciate any donation you can afford.
