Im not going to say anymore just read Your's magazine Christmas edition in the shops now--- and my e-book is now out today.
Mesothelioma UK only gets 1% of cancer Charity money so Im donating the money from my e-book to them.
The Prime Minister of Canada is still allowing and expanding his Asbestos Mines so I have told him off as I was invited by a lady in Canada to write on his web site. :oops:

Mesothelioma UK says
This is why Mesothelioma UK exists.

Mesothelioma UK is a resource centre dedicated to Mesothelioma. We provide information and support for people affected by Mesothelioma. We have a national free phone helpline (0800 169 2409) that provides access to impartial, accurate and relevant advice specific to mesothelioma for patients, carers and health care professionals. Callers to the helpline can access specialist nurse clinical advice, booklets and factsheets and can also be put in touch with local sources of information and support including, for patients and carers, contact with their local nurse specialist and local or nearest support group (where available). For health care professional's we organise numerous training and educational events, regular news bulletins, have established a National Mesothelioma Nurse Action Team and generally support health care teams in the management of Mesothelioma patients. We collaborate with all other interested parties to raise awareness about Mesothelioma and the dangers of asbestos and coordinate events surrounding Action Mesothelioma Day in July each year.

Initially funded by Macmillan Cancer Support, Mesothelioma UK now relies totally on voluntary donations to our own independent charity; Mesothelioma UK Charitable Trust.

I supported Mavis on the grounds of a discussion we had at the Global and the case she put fowards also it is not a huge charity that gets support from, all and sundry.

I am glad however there was one well known uk organisation got knocked out at the 1st round due to them discontinuing a service that their members Needed and going against how the members voted nationally.

I have also voted for Mesothelioma UK.

As well as being inspired by Mavis's own battle against Mesothelioma I have been saddened this year by the death of my daughter-in-law's father, who died from the disease. He probably contracted it from exposure to asbestos in the Navy.

I became aware of the industrial health disaster of asbestos in the 1980s after I moved to the Upper Calder Valley. Local groups were campaigning to make safe the site of Acre Mill asbestos processing plant. The link on the local community website gives lots of information.

I thank you, Chris, for your post...

The Acre Mill links make exceedingly sad but fascinating reading. I did notice that Asbestosis got around 30 lines of print, whereas Mesothelioma got 6!! :evil: That would suggest the Meso was still very much still in the background, as suggested by this snippet from the same link...

Meanwhile, the 1931 asbestos regulations had been updated in 1969, and a limit for factory asbestos dust exposure of 2 million fibres per cubic metre (m3) of air was to be gradually introduced. Unfortunately this 'hygiene standard' did not include consideration of the lung or mesothelioma cancer hazards. :evil:

Another snippet referring to Mesothelioma... Until the 1960s this form of cancer was unrecognised. :evil:

Clearly, there must be a greater acknowledgment of the existence of the evil Mesothelioma, and much more work must be done to find a cure for those who are inflicted with its associated cancers. :evil:
