A Snowdrop Memorial Fund- see Snowdrop Funds has been set up in Debbie’s memory, creating a lasting tribute to a very special person. To make a donation  click: justgiving.com/remember/72894/Debbie-Brewer 

 

Debbie Brewer, who has touched the lives of so many people affected with mesothelioma   through-out the world,  sadly died on Sunday 9th June 2013.

She has been a source of support, information and love to so many and will be hugely missed by family and friends alike.

She was loved in the USA and honoured by ADAO in 2012.  Recently she accepted the role of Ambassador for the Mick Knighton Mesothelioma Research Fund.
 
Debbie was due to commence another line of chemotherapy but she had been suffering from a chest infection which started earlier this year.  Unable to take certain antibiotics the infection didn’t clear properly, leading to her having to be admitted to a hospice to help control the pain she was suffering due to both the growth and the infection.
 
I am sure many of you will be as shocked and upset at this news,  but I am thankful I knew her and her courageous spirit at fighting mesothelioma and finding the time to be their for others was remarkable.
 
Debbie is someone I feel deeply priviledged and honoured to have known.
 
RIP Debbie

We, the undersigned, Want the Mesothelioma Bill Changed

Dear Lord Freud

I believe the 2013 Mesothelioma Bill needs to be changed. The Bill should help all those suffering, not just those diagnosed after 25th July 2012. Above all it should ensure people get 100% of the compensation they are entitled to, not 70% as currently planned.

Please amend this Bill and make sure sufferers get 100% Justice.

The Mesothelioma Bill which provides for payments to mesothelioma sufferers who cannot trace their insurers has commenced in the House of Lords.
 
Asbestos victims support groups have called on to government to improve the Bill which provides for payments of 70% compensation instead of 100% and imposes an arbitrary cut off date of 25 July 2012 so that all those diagnosed with mesothelioma before that date are not eligible for a payment.
