Fundraising for Mick Knighton Mesothelioma Research Fund. Asthma + Lung UK
My Dad was diagnosed with Mesothelioma in August 2012 and sadly lost his battle against the disease in January 2013.
Mesothelioma is a deadly cancer caused by breathing in asbestos dust. There’s no cure, and more than 90% of people are killed within three years of diagnosis. Over the next 30 years it is estimated that around 60,000 people will die from mesothelioma – unless new treatments are found.
The MKMRF: Mick Knighton Mesothelioma Research Fund, aims to raise awareness and fund crucial research into this disease.* Charities pay a small fee for our service. Find out how much it is and what we do for it.
