Get involved and help us support three (3) extremely worthy groups;

The Asbestos Disease Research Institute

Australia has the world’s highest incidence of malignant mesothelioma per capita, with more than 600 new cases diagnosed each year, which is due to the widespread use of the known carcinogen, asbestos.

As a response to the incidence of malignant mesothelioma in Australia, the Asbestos Diseases Research Institute (ADRI) was opened in January 2009. The ADRI was established by the Asbestos Diseases Research Foundation (ADRF), a charitable, not-for-profit foundation dedicated to assist and support the research efforts of ADRI into asbestos-related diseases.

The funds raised through the Charity Foundation will be supporting the ADRI Scholarship Program, students studying their PhD’s at the University of Sydney are researching projects in Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma at the ADRI. This research is fundamental to the ADRI in achieving their aim to improve the diagnosis and treatment of asbestos related diseases and at the same time to contribute to more effective measures to prevent exposure to asbestos.
