It took my Gangan in 6 months after he worked for the NHS in 1969-77 in Yorkshire as an engineer. He was supervising the removal of asbestos in the boiler rooms, even though the maintenance men actually removing the asbestos had paper masks my Gangan had nothing! In 1968 the hospital trust wrote their own risk assessment policy on asbestos, non of their procedures were known about by the work force to be adhered too.
As a result, to date, along with my Gangan, 4 other engineers and one cleaner have died of asbestosis or mesothelioma that my Gangan worked with.

My Gangan was 73 and my hero, he died the day after his 73rd birthday, he was withered by 7 stone and we barely recognised him he was so frail. He was an engineer to the end, always helping people fix things, he loved a problem to solve, war documentaries and films and fiddling around with his motorbikes and now he's gone.
At the end I don't think he could even accept that he was dieing as it attacks the body so fast.

Please help me create awareness and money for the charity to help others, even tho we can't help Gangan anymore we can build his legacy.

Thank you x
