Action Mesothelioma Day 2019

Action Mesothelioma Day is taking part on Friday 5th of July 2019 and sees hundreds of people come together throughout the UK to raise awareness of mesothelioma. Paying tribute to people suffering with asbestos related cancer and those affected by mesothelioma.

Mesothelioma is a type of cancer that mainly affects the lining of the lungs (pleural mesothelioma) and is linked to asbestos exposure.

The current statistics are that more than 2,600 people are diagnosed with the condition each year in the UK.

Unfortunately, at the moment it’s rarely possible to cure mesothelioma, although treatment can help control the symptoms. This is why research is essential into this rare form of cancer.

As part of Action Mesothelioma Day 2019, Casa have donated £200 to the British Lung Foundation to help fund towards their vital research.

We urge you to consider donating as much or as little as you can towards the cause.
