Story

Mesothelioma is a form of cancer and exposure to asbestos is responsible for up to 9 out of 10 cases. Protecting people from hazardous environments is at the forefront of our business and Lucion is closely aligned to Mesothelioma UK due to our extensive work in the asbestos industry.

Mesothelioma UK is the UK’s leading national specialist resource centre for mesothelioma. Founded in 2004 with initial funding from Macmillan Cancer Support, the charity has been dedicated to providing information, support and improving treatment and care throughout the UK for mesothelioma sufferers and their carers. The charity also delivers information and education to industry bodies nationwide, raising awareness about the dangers of asbestos and preventative measures that must be taken to protect individuals from asbestos exposure. Integrated with the NHS, Mesothelioma UK funds a network of specialist nurses available to mesothelioma sufferers at the point of need.

Lucion is a purpose-driven company, dedicated to protecting people from hazardous environments and protecting the environment from the impacts of people. As well as our team of runners taking part in the event, we're also supporting the TTP Cambridge Half Marathon as Sustainability Partner. Our partnership with event organisers, OSB events ensures that the TTP Cambridge Half Marathon event continues to evolve to include the highest possible ESG standards set out in the ESG policy and makes a positive contribution to Cambridge and the wider environment.
