The true faces of mesothelioma

A Russian asbestos company is now flippantly marketing its products with the face of President Donald Trump and his alleged approval. The Mesothelioma Applied Research Foundation knows that the patients and community we work with every day are the true faces of mesothelioma, a deadly cancer expected to kill more than 100,000 Americans over the next 40 years.

We also know that exposure to asbestos — a known carcinogen — is an ongoing problem that spans multiple administrations and one that has led to a rise in mesothelioma diagnoses.

A mesothelioma diagnosis is an emotionally overwhelming experience for patients and their families that oftentimes adds a financial burden of traveling to be seen by one of a few mesothelioma specialists. To help, we created the Patient Travel Grant program, which provides a one-time grant of up to $1,000 to cover the costs of travel, lodging and meals.

Join us in telling Russia that mesothelioma is no laughing matter by making a donation to the Meso Foundation today. Your gift will support the Patient Travel Grant program and will ensure that every patient has the opportunity to see an expert, regardless of their ability to pay.

Editor’s Note: Previously, we ran the title “The true faces of mesothelioma — Russian asbestos & President Trump.” We did not mean to imply President Trump or the Russian asbestos company were the true faces of mesothelioma.
