Today our beautiful Linda Reinstein, ADAO announced on facebook another recipient of this deserving and wonderful award - myself! It is a great honour to be acknowledged with this award and I thank ADAO for recognising the work that I do to raise asbestos awareness, advocacy and support globally.
The
Bernie Banton Foundation is proud its' Asbestos Awareness Information
and Support Officer Lou Williams has been recognised globally for her
untiring efforts world wide in heightening awareness to the dangers of
asbestos, and continually supporting asbestos related disease (ARD)
sufferers and their families.
Lou is a truly worthy
co-recipient of the ADAO 2014 Alan Reinstein Award. I know she feels
honoured to be receiving this award along with fellow mesothelioma
cancer survivor Heather Von St.James and the late Janelle Bedel who lost
her battle with mesothelioma only a week ago.
I wrote the following about Lou on the 19th June, I wont try to improve on it as I think it really does sum Lou up:
"Lou Williams is a legend, no not in her own mind, but around the
world, as an asbestos cancer survivor, supporter of many adversely
affected by exposure to asbestos, and an awareness advocate.
All at the Bernie Banton Foundation are proud to call Lou, not only a fellow team member, but a friend!
Karen and I call her KS ('Kindred Spirit' - As she was also to my late,
beloved Julie), but she is far more than that, she is a very special
person."
