Mission Statement
The Mick Knighton Mesothelioma Research Fund aims to raise awareness, fund crucial research projects. Improve diagnosis, treatment and care for mesothelioma sufferers plus helping to access information and support. Each and everyone are of supreme importance to the fund.
The Mick Knighton Mesothelioma Research Fund has been established in memory of my husband. Mick was diagnosed aged 59 years in August 2000 and died on the 19th March 2001, seven months after diagnosis.
Mesothelioma is a type of lung cancer affecting the lung and occasionaly the abdomen caused by exposure to asbestos.
Mick served in the Royal Navy as a young man when asbestos products were widely used. His character, courage and sense of humour made such an impression on all who knew him. This research fund has been set up to help others, of which there will be many.
