| World's First Asbestos Research Center - Sydney |
| Saturday, January 31, 2009 |
Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd presided over the opening dedication of the Bernie Banton Asbestos Diseases Research Institute (BBADRI) on January 20, 2009. Located on the grounds of Sydney's Concord Hospital, the $12 million facility is the world's largest stand alone institute dedicated entirely to the advancement of scientific investigations into asbestos-caused malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM), an aggressive, deadly, and incurable form of lung cancer. Public and private donation funded, the BBADRI will be partially staffed by physicians and researchers from Concord Hospital.

We here in the UK are lobbying our MP's for funding into research of Mesothelioma & other abestos diseases. Nearly all research is at the moment funded by asbestos support groups.
My family & I set up a fund in memory of our lovely dad who sadly died from Mesothelioma in 2006 ages just 67. A truly awful disease which a succession of British Governments have failed to address. Employers have been allowed to expose their employees to asbestos with no regard for their health & safety and are at the moment trying to appeal against paying compensation for this.
Please support us www.bobtolleyfund.co.uk & www.bobtolleyasbestos.blogspot.com
