Margaret and Diane donate £3080 to the MKMRF
Margaret, daughter Carole Orton and Stephens partner Diane Hurst were determined to raise vital funding for research into mesothelioma while raising awareness of this terrible disease that devastates the lives of so many. Margaret and Carole have set up the first MKMRF’s Snow drop Memorial Fund in their memory. The Snowdrop was chosen as after the depth of winters it symbolises new hope and promise for the future
