Fieldfisher's Manchester team was pleased to donate £2,500 to Asbestos Victim Support Groups. Our Mesothelioma lawyers work closely with the groups and witness first-hand how donations enable them to continue supporting people diagnosed with asbestos related diseases, particularly part-funding specialist Mesothelioma nurses.
Manchester-based partner Bridget Collier ran the Dragon's Back race in September to raise funds. Starting in Conwy, the race covered the spine of Wales and finished six days later in Cardiff.
She described it as 'a fitting challenge to inspire so many to donate to such a cause' and that she was delighted to be able to give so much to the support groups, adding 'there must be easier ways to get sponsorship though!'
Donations were sent to:
- Greater Manchester Asbestos Victim Support Groups
- Cumbria and Lancashire Asbestos Support Advice Group
- Cheshire Asbestos Victim Support Group
- READLEY (in the North East)
- Mesothelioma UK
