Below is a flyer from MARF regarding National Meso Awareness Day.
"NATIONAL MESO AWARENESS DAY -- SEPTEMBER 26TH"
Warren Zevon, musician and songwriter, died of mesothelioma. With the approval of
Warren’s son, Jordan Zevon, volunteers across the country are contacting their local radio stations asking them to play Warren Zevon songs at intervals throughout the day followed by messages about the disease and the Meso Foundation. Please join Jordan, and the Meso Foundation in calling attention to the need to develop effective treatments for this life-threatening cancer, and in raising awareness of mesothelioma in our communities. You can make a difference! Progress is being made, but early diagnosis and further research are essential. Raising awareness will help patients receive the care they need in order to live longer more fulfilling lives, and may save future victims by alerting the public to the very real problem of asbestos exposure and related disease. Thank you for your support!"
Today is the day to spread the word about Mesothelioma in your community and beyond! It is also a day to honor those struggling and those we have lost to this terrible disease and their families.
