Bernie Banton

Bernie Banton was a sufferer of Mesothelioma and sadly lost his battle with peritoneal Mesothelioma at 1am 0n 27th November 2007. He lived in Sydney, Australia and was highly praised for his tireless work with highlighting the issues surrounding asbsetos and Mesothelioma. The worlds first asbestos research centre will be named after him. The multi-million dollar centre is being set up to find new treatments for the disease. May I take this opportunity to say y thoughts are with his family.
