Story
Dad passed away on the 21st July 2012 after being diagnosed with Mesothelioma last november. He faced his illness with a brave attitude and gave others inspiration so that they could face their illness too. The strength he showed us was inspiring and i'm very proud to be his daughter. My dad was our hero, the axis that our worlds revolved upon. We will miss him forever and in doing this page makes me feel that i'm going to do some good and will continue to remember what a generous and unbelievable dad he was to myself, my sister and my brother and a truly devoted husband to my mum. He was also a very loving gramps to his three grandsons, who all loved spending time with him and will miss him very much.
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Mesothelioma is mainly a chest cancer that develops between 15 and 60 years after exposure to asbestos. Only six per cent of the UK population know what the disease is, yet this deadly cancer kills one person every five hours in the UK. The rising number of deaths from the condition is linked to the use of asbestos in the building industry up until the mid 1980's and it doesn't discriminate, it can affect anyone even if you haven't worked with it you may have been exposed through a secondary route and all it takes is one fibre inhaled, so please take up a challenge and get the message out there. Asbestos is Dangerous, lets do something about it............
