Story

Derek, Lucy and I have signed ourselves up for The Kiltwalk Mighty Stride on 30th April 2023 (23 miles) - walking for 'Action on Asbestos'.

In May 2020 our Dad and Lucy's Papa, Gus, passed away due to an incurable cancer. It is known with total certainty Mesothelioma is caused from exposure to asbestos. It's is a horrible disease that can lie dormant for many years but once it takes hold it is merciless and rapid in its effects with few victims living longer than a few months beyond first diagnosis.

The charity, until recently known as Clydeside Action on Asbestos, has been helping people with asbestos-related disease for over 35 years. They provide a voice, practical advice and emotional support to those affected by work-related illness, including Mesothelioma, lung cancer and other asbestos related conditions.

We are grateful for any sponsorship you can make towards this worthy charity who are in need of donations.

Thank you!
