Our
Walk a Mile for Mesothelioma event is fast becoming an established part of the
DAST calendar. We chose to launch it in 2014 for the following reasons:
·
To
get people talking about Mesothelioma by organising small local events and
telling others why they are doing it
·
To
encourage those suffering from Mesothelioma to do some gentle exercise – this
is encouraged by medical professionals in order to try and combat stress and
fatigue
·
To
increase awareness of DAST and the need for our work – as well as to raise
funds to enable us to deliver our service
DAST
workers and volunteers will again be walking their mile at Nottingham’s Forest
Recreation Ground. Anyone is welcome to come along and join us. It has been
wonderful over the past two years to see families and pets and to have a chat
while we circuit the park.

We
will be there on Friday 9th September from 11.00am. We will travel by
train and tram (there is a tramstop right outside the park) but there is also a
large car park.
If
you are unable to join us we would love it if you could organise your own walk
in September. We have a sponsor pack
available containing sponsor forms, pens, a T shirt and guidelines for
contacting your local press.
We
would welcome walks organised by small/local businesses. Perhaps a sponsored
walk could be arranged at lunchtime or after work (a short hike to the pub,
maybe…) In return for your company’s support we can put the name on our website
list of organisation/company supporters and show your photos on all our social
media sites and publications. Check out the current list here:
Show
your support for asbestos support!
