Can you help the Mavis Nye Foundation

The  Mavis Nye Foundation carries out voluntary work, providing support on Social Media etc emails and phone etc. Yet is financially entirely dependent on donations (I even donate to the Charity and take no wages or expenses) A great deal of hard work from volunteer's is behind the Charity to which Im so grateful for the support of any kind that is always welcome. Please help me to leave a legacy for the awareness of the dangers of asbestos and the disease that has struck so many. We have started and we need help to carry this on.

  A Diary of a Mesowarrior living with Mesothelioma Scan results I had to go to my hospital for the results of my scan and I was so worked up about it. We were called in and we sat down and I held my breath. I told the Oncologist that I had lost the power of my left hand and the pain was so bad. This is just what happened right at the beginning in 2008/2009 when I was then diagnosed with Mesothelioma, the whole arm we numb, So we looked at my scan.
