Many families who are mourning the loss of a love one never think about the powerful message they could be sending out to others while they are grieving. Not only would others be helped by the messages, but the individuals who lost loved ones could find it easier to grieve while helping others.

Families of Mesothelioma victims can raise awareness about the disease by setting up fund raisers and charities, and distributing information packets in their towns and school systems.

recently, Mick Keogh’s life was taken by Mesothelioma and his partner Ann Parkinson had an interesting memorial for him. She gathered with friends and family to celebrate Keogh’s life as well as to educate everyone on the dangers of asbestos and Mesothelioma.

From here, she will work to fight against Mesothelioma and to help other families who are suffering as she and Keogh did.

Do you know anyone who has started a charity because of the loss of a loved one?
