In January 2015 our lovely Mum and Grandma died from a dreadful disease that we knew nothing about until she was diagnosed 7 months earlier.  Mesothelioma is a terminal cancer caused by the inhalation of asbestos fibres, in Mums case it caused cancer of the lining of her lungs, despite her never working with asbestos this shows what a danger this substance can be and awareness needs to be raised of this dreadful disease. 

For those of you that knew our Mum she was very hardworking, extremely active and loved life. She loved nothing more than being outside with her Grandchildren. During the 7 months following diagnosis she was in and out of hospital and on one occasion had 6 litres of fluid drained from one lung. There are very few options for treatment available currently because of the limited amount of funded research that has been undertaken into the disease. This is a cruel disease and we want to try and help other families by raising money to research treatments and ultimately a cure. Please sponsor us! As a family we are all undertaking individual and family challenges which include:
