THE EVENT
​
Sunset kindly created a spectacular one-off fundraising drive-in movie event for us.
Thursday 30th July was their launch night and on-screen we enjoyed the 1985 family classic "Back to the Future"
​
Many thanks to Helen Childs and the asbestos team @RWK for making this possible!
Helen even organised a real DeLorean for the event, which was a massive hit with attendees!
​
​
The video gives you a glimpse of the fun we had raising funds for asbestos cancer research!
​
​
Huge thanks to everyone for coming along and supporting our cause.

By completing this challenge and sharing you are helping us raise awareness of mesothelioma - aka asbestos cancer.
​
Despite its UK ban in 1999, asbestos-related illnesses still claim 107,000 lives a year.
13 people die every day in the UK, yet asbestos can STILL be found in over 50% of UK homes, 9 out of 10 hospital trusts and over 70% of UK schools!
​
There is no safe level of asbestos exposure...and mesothelioma presents its symptoms 20-40 years later..usually too late.
Asbestos cancer is terminal. There is still no cure with very little funding.. so we're aiming to fund a cure via research.
Huge thanks for reading and helping us.
