Meso March Logo

On Sunday 14 September,  we held our 5th annual Meso March – an important event that aims to acknowledge and support people and families living with mesothelioma and other dust diseases – and provides a wonderful opportunity to connect them with the ADDRI team and our supporters.

We were thrilled to see so many come together – over 80 people – to walk, talk and share memories and stories, and to remind one another that even in grief and sadness, no one is alone.

This year we were honoured to have Ms Sally Sitou MP, Federal Member for Reid, join us.  As a fierce advocate for people living with dust diseases, her presence and support meant a great deal to everyone who attended.

Currently, there is no cure for mesothelioma. Certain treatments may extend life expectancy and help achieve long-term remission, however due to the aggressive nature of the cancer (and often the late diagnosis) the Mesothelioma survival rates are very low. Australia has one of the highest incidences of Mesothelioma in the world with over 700 Australians being diagnosed each year.

So…the Meso March is more than a walk – it is an opportunity to shine a light on the challenges faced by people living with mesothelioma and other dust diseases, and to showcase the support and services ADDRI provides. Our research remains focused on reducing the impact of these diseases, both here in Australia and around the world.

For families affected, the Meso March represents our ongoing commitment to stand with you, to support you, and to walk alongside you every step of the way.
