Using Education, Advocacy and Community
ADAO Co-Founder and President Linda Reinstein explains what it was like to lose her husband Alan to mesothelioma, a cancer she hadn’t heard of before. Finding out his death could’ve been prevented has fueled her 20-year fight to ban asbestos and prevent all asbestos-related diseases.
Each year at Miles for Meso, Linda looks forward to joining a community of mesothelioma survivors and warriors to raise awareness about the dangers of asbestos exposure and walk together with a shared experience and purpose.
“Miles for Meso has been an amazing resource for ADAO. I love Simmons Hanly Conroy. They are so genuine,” Linda explained. “The funds are remarkable. They help us to continue our 20-year mission of preventing exposure to eliminate all asbestos caused diseases.”
