Action Mesothelioma Day (AMD) is a national event held by Mesothelioma UK each year on the first Friday of July. It's dedicated to raising awareness of asbestos and mesothelioma, a serious cancer caused by asbestos exposure. The day is an important opportunity to remember those affected, support families and highlight the ongoing need for research into better treatment and prevention. Events taking place across the UK will bring together patients, loved ones and campaigners through fundraising initiatives and awareness activities.
For those looking to take part, Mesothelioma UK encourages everyone to 'Go Blue for Meso' by joining or organising a Blue Light Walk. Whether you host your own walk or join a local event, every step helps to raise awareness and contribute to vital fundraising. There are also plenty of other ways to get involved and Mesothelioma UK offers a Go Blue for Meso ideas pack with creative suggestions to support the campaign: Access Resources Here
