Susan emailed me to ask me to help her spread awareness for pleural mesothelioma, which is a rare and aggressive form of cancer brought on by exposure to asbestos. Her husband died from it. He was member of the US House of Representatives and in his memory she has become active with cancer victims rights group, especially those affected by asbestos.
