Today is Action Mesothelioma Day 2008 in the United Kingdom. This annual event, which started in 2006, is spearheaded by the British Lung Foundation. The Action Mesothelioma campaign is centered on the Mesothelioma Charter, which calls for better care and treatment, better protection for employees and more funding for research. It was presented to 10 Downing Street on February 27, 2006, with more than 14,000 signatures to mark the launch of the first Action Mesothelioma Day.
