Dunsborough to Perth
13 May 2013 to 17 May 2013
Walk Team in Dunsborough
After the experience in 2012 of the Wittenoom Childrens’ Walk, the first ADSA Walk, the Asbestos Diseases Society of Australia Committee decided to continue to walk for mesothelioma research. A group of ADSA Walk Team members from 2012 and ADSA Committee members got together to plan a walk from Dunsborough to Perth, the Asbestos Diseases Society of Australia Walk for Research and Awareness 2013.
The ADSA Walk 2013 started in Dunsborough at Lyons Park on Monday 13 May 2013 and finished at Solidarity Park behind Parliament House on Friday 17 May 2013. On the way the ADSA held Town Meetings in the evenings in Bunbury, Harvey, Mandurah and Rockingham hosting expert speakers on the issues of asbestos risks and medical research and treatments.
