Asbestos Diseases Society of Australia Walk for Research and Awareness

Sarah Nichols

I became involved with ASDA after my father was diagnosed with mesothelioma in 2016. They helped him throughout his treatment but unfortunately we lost him last year. This year I am walking in his memory and so no-one else has to go through what he did. I am walking walking because my dad was (and still is) my hero.

Wave Rock to Kulin

Today we kicked off the walk from Wave Rock all dressed up as pirates! We did a bit of rock surfing then commenced the long walk. 30,000 steps later and my day 1 is done. Unfortunately my partner in crime Aida could only join me the one day (but might be a good thing as she walks really really fast, with her partner Charlie holding her back!)
