Action Mesothelioma Day, 27 February 2008

Action Mesothelioma Day, on 27 February involves local activities nationwide to raise awareness of mesothelioma, an incurable cancer caused by exposure to asbestos, and to campaign for prevention of asbestos exposures today and better treatment and benefits for those affected by past exposures. Join a local event - or if there isn't one, consider organising your own.

Workers who were exposed to asbestos were betrayed by their employers. It is a sad fact that many innocent family members were also exposed to asbestos without knowing and so have been diagnosed with mesothelioma.
It is a terminal disease and innocent victims deserve reparations. Legal advice is available if you are a victim or know a victim. Companies should be held accountable for these and other fatal industrial accidents.

Hi Irwin Michelle
You are a little bit suspect putting advertising links in your comment. But it appears you do good work for asbestos victims (unless anyone tells me different). However, I would suggest that anyone who is suffering from this disease contacts their trade union first or a family support group for advice. http://www.hazards.org/organisations.htm#Asbestossupport
