17 Jun 2009 by Wendi Lewis under Events, News, Organizations, Research/Treatment

As those of you who follow this blog probably already know, I’ll be traveling to , D.C., next week to attend the 2009 International Symposium on Malignant , which is being presented by the Mesothelioma Applied Research Foundation (MARF). On Friday morning, a regular part of the conference is a Tribute Ceremony to honor those who have lost their struggle against . This is a poignant time to recognize those who were so needlessly lost, and to provide a way to communicate the urgent need for funding for and treatment.

During the Tribute Ceremony, MARF will create a collage of photos of these loved ones who have passed away. I would be more than honored to carry your photo to to add to this Tribute. You may send your photo electronically, by email, and I will make color prints to add to the collage. Please let me know if you would be interested in this. You can email mymeso@gmail.com or email me directly at wendi.lewis@beasleyallen.com.

On Thursday, I also will have the opportunity to visit Capitol Hill to ask our congressional representatives to provide federal funding for and treatment, and for the ban of . Please take a moment to sign the petition for these endeavors – there is a link on our home page.

I look forward to attending the Symposium next week, and will be blogging from the conference, which will provide a wealth of information about the latest progress in and treatment. The conference begins on Thursday, June 25, with the visits to Capitol Hill, and continues through Saturday featuring distinguished physicians, researchers and advocates. I’m sure there will be a lot of valuable information to share.

God bless you all!

    Hi Wendi and myMeso.Well, Libby got it's Health Emergency but all I see this as, is spending millions on a dead horse and making millions from off of that dead horse.Been doing that since 1999(earlier I am sure)in Libby.And to think most of that money is feeding the corrupt system in Libby full of ALL the same players who also allowed Libby and it's people to be poisoned. NOW they all are making millions,realitors/Mayor/Card/etc etc and STILL not one dime for those of us who continue to suffer till death with only our boots on.Why haven't the people been taken care of since 1999 specially when everyone knows we are sick and dying.This is so unfair because the only thing that matters to us sick and dying is for some how to have a life with what life is left to the fullest till death.Most of us are dying in bankrupcy and penniless while everyone else seems to be having a hay day with the millions going throu Libby and NOT ONE HUMAN BEING BEING PROTECTED NOR TOLD THE TRUTH that Libby Mt is NOT a safe place to live and raise a family.Wendi, would you please address the continued deadly exposure to more innocent people/families and request some one stop this known deadly exposure to any more people mainly our children for whom we all must protect.All these people moving to Libby now and IF the issue of the trees are not dealt with,none of that money will do any good by leaving the asbestos behind.The deadly Trees around Libby in a 20 mile radius ARE a issue.And then the banks of the Kootenai River from Libby to Bonners Ferry Idaho must be a issue because the banks also are full of asbestos.Not to mention the water.Why don't they just pay the people off, close the town to any more human beings and let Libby and Troy die off.Never to kill again.How bout a Public warning telling all Libby is not safe.These lies EPA and others are selling are killing hundreds more people today since 1999.Already a man has been diagnosed with asbestosis from moving to Libby 5 years ago.Who is guilty for killing this man? ALL who sold him Libby as safe.Over 300 people/families have moved to Libby since 1999.Please, some one please stop this continued dealy exposure.I just don't want any more sickness and death of people now that we know what is killing us.Thank you Wendi and let me know what you can do.Take care. Sincerely Mike Crill
