Last month, families came together at the Mesothelioma Memorial Garden in Queen’s Park, Swindon, to remember the people they love and have lost to mesothelioma, and BBC Wiltshire was there to share some of their stories. 💛 Our Lisa spoke about what we do when someone is diagnosed: sitting down with them, helping with finances and any benefits they might be entitled to, and being there for them emotionally at what she knows is an incredibly difficult time. She knows because she’s lived it. Her aunt died of mesothelioma in 2004. It was very special to see Jeanette at the garden too. We had the privilege of supporting Jeanette and her partner Kevin Eggleton before Kevin passed away, and it meant so much to have her with us. Thank you to RWK Goodman, Heidi Alexander MP, Councillor Gayle Cook, Stan Pajak, South Swindon Parish Council and Lizzy Bakes HQ for helping make it such a gentle, beautiful morning, white doves and all. If you or someone you love has been affected by an asbestos-related illness, you don’t have to face it alone. We’re here. 🕊️
