We have been touched by asbestos in individual ways, yet we are joined together by a bond of community. As a testament to the strength of our global family, the Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization (ADAO) is highlighting the courageous stories of our members with the “Share Your Story” feature on our website.

This week, we would like to honor the story of David, as shared by his sister Dianne, who is a part of our ADAO family. We encourage you to submit your personal stories by clicking here and following the simple instructions on the page. In sharing, comes healing. Remember, you are not alone.

How has asbestos changed your life? 

Asbestos has taken my brother away from me and his loving family. We watched him suffer and slowly die with no hope of recovery. No one deserves such a painful, agonizing death. Every day for almost 2 years he was suffering from the pain of the tumors and/or the horrible effects of chemotherapy.
