ADSA Walk volunteers, supporters, friends and family, and everyone interested in this lifesaving event,
Like so many important community events COVID19 stay safe rules and medical advice are that there can be no ADSA Walk in 2020.
Please everyone stay safe. Read on to learn more about the ADSA Walk and to view the galleries and stories from previous Walks.
The ADSA Walk is both a mesothelioma walk and an asbestos walk and is the short name for the Asbestos Diseases Society of Australia Walk for Research and Awareness an event to raise funds for mesothelioma research and promote asbestos awareness.
