The South West Mesothelioma Support Group would like to extend sincere thanks to Councillor Pauline Murphy who presented Mesothelioma Clinical Nurse Specialist Christine Jones with a cheque for just over four thousand one hundred and twenty five pounds on 8 August. The same amount was also presented to Frontline Veterans.

This amazing amount was raised by various fund raising events organised by Councillor Murphy during her past year in office as Plymouth's Lord Mayor. She was supported throughout by her consort Councillor Brian Vincent and assisted by support group member Wally Wright.

Wally was looking forward to attending the cheque presentation but sadly passed away on 1 August, however, was very grateful in respect of this fabulous achievement. He was also very proud of the Lord Mayor's association with the group.

One again thanks to Pauline and Brian for their very generous support and to all those who attended their fundraising events.

The money will go a long way helping support those affected by asbestos related cancer, both locally and nationally.

The support group holds monthly meetings in Plymouth and Truro for all those affected by Mesothelioma or other asbestos related diseases. For more information contact Christine Jones on 01752 432383 or email christine.paterson4@nhs.net.
