Flowers & Donations

You may know that our dad was diagnosed with mesothelioma, a type of lung cancer caused by asbestos. We ask his friends not to send flowers, but we instead would encourage you to make a donation to either of the charities below:

Hampshire Asbestos Support & Awareness Group (HASAG)

HASAG was very helpful to dad when he first received his diagnosis early this year. Dad had no particular risk of exposure to asbestos, and yet he still was affected. Asbestos is still around in countless non-obvious situations and so sadly we believe HASAG's support may continue to be valuable to unfortunate individuals for years to come.

St Chistopher's Hospice

St Christopher's provided moral and practical support to dad as he lived with the lung cancer over the last few months. They also offered help to his family and continue to do so even now.
