The Mesothelioma Applied Research Foundation has established a grant program to help patients obtain treatment beyond their commutable region. The Mary and Bob Cosentino Travel Grant Program seeks to provide means for victims to consult experts that would be otherwise beyond their reach. Mary Cosentino served on MARF’s board of directors, and passed away last month after a five-year battle with mesothelioma. Though the disease typically causes death about a year after diagnosis, Mary’s life was prolonged because she was able to travel to distant experimental and clinical trial sites. The new Travel Grant Program hopes to give other mesothelioma patients the same sort of opportunity Mary was afforded. For more information, click here.
