Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page. Myself, family and friends have decided to abstain from alcohol during January to raise cash for Mesothelioma UK..a very worthwhile charity that has helped us immensely over the past year. (Last year we smashed our target and raised over £3000 for the Mick Knighton Mesothelioma Research Fund).

As many of you know, my darling hubby Kurt was diagnosed with Epithelioid Mesothelioma in October 2014. This dreadful cancer, caused by asbestos, is incurable with a poor prognosis. Since diagnosis, Kurt remained positive throughout his chemo and radiotherapy and responded well to his treatment. Through contact with Mesothelioma UK, he gained access to further specialists in the field of mesothelioma and opted to have a radical operation in June of this year to remove the linings of his lung, chest wall, pericardium and diaphragm in an effort to remove as much of the cancer as possible and therefore, hopefully, buy him more time. Mesothelioma UK has been a fountain of knowledge which has helped us come to decisions about treatment options and have always been on the other end of the phone when we have needed advice or support...which we are so grateful for. Please help us to raise as much as possible to provide this worthwhile charity with the funding they require to continue their excellent work.

Thank you so much.

Sue, Den, Darran, Karen, Jo D, Jo R, Caroline, Sue S, Jo H, Sam, Helen, Paula, Denise & Neil.
