A proposed Mesothelioma Awareness Day is a good first step towards a spirited campaign against the adverse health impacts of the disease to local and international mesothelioma patients.
The house bill, sponsored by the Mesothelioma Research Foundation, was filed by Rep. Betty McCollum and Sen. Patty Murray, and currently pending before the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
Scheduled for September 26, the first annual National Mesothelioma Awareness Day, will act as the centerpiece of lobbying efforts and collective action against the disease.
The Mesothelioma Research Foundation officials, also called the Meso Foundation, will be present for the taping of the “Today” show in New York, and will be putting up huge displays and billboards on the facade of the Rockefeller building.
Mesothelioma claims 90,000 lives worldwide and 2,500 in the United States every year.
In addition, the Meso Foundation also continues to sponsor marathons, conferences, publicity events, and seminars that benefit patients and their families, raise research funding, and increase awareness among the American and international mesothelioma public health scenes.
