The organization's mission is to eradicate mesothelioma, a cancer caused by exposure to asbestos, as a life-ending disease. Of its donors, 65% are individuals personally affected by mesothelioma. The remaining 35% include pharmaceutical companies, labor unions, plaintiff and defendant attorneys,[1] and companies that have manufactured asbestos products.[2] To date, the foundation has funded over $10 million in clinical research and is the host of the annual International Symposium on Malignant Mesothelioma.
