Breathtaking Cycle to raise awareness of mesothelioma
The beginning at Glasgow and the finish in Southampton
Three asbestos campaigners, Katrina London, Paul Granville and Jason Addy completed a breathtaking cycle ride from Glasgow to Southampton to raise awareness of mesothelioma and to call for government funded research into this terrible disease. They stopped at asbestos ‘hot spots’ on route and were met by asbestos victims and supporters to publicise the aims of the journey.

Ben Nevis Ascent
The climb was to raise money for asbestos support groups and for the national organisation under Tony Whitson, in my resolution to the UCATT conference I have called for closer ties with groups like yours in the interest of best representation at every level for asbestos sufferers. The event raised around £2,500, £500 went to the CSC.
