Fund-raising on the Golf Course
The Asbestos Diseases Society of Australia (ADSA) held a competition this week to raise money for medical research of asbestos-related lung cancers. The tournament took place on Sunday, October 14, 2012 at the Meadow Springs Golf and Country Club and attracted the participation of a number of teams from the Perth area.

Last year's inaugural golfing day succeeded in raising $24,000 which was donated to Professor Anna Nowak. This year's event raised a grand total of $30,000 which has been donated to Professor Jenette Creaney, a leading researcher based in Western Australia.

Earlier this year, the ADSA inaugurated an annual walk for Wittenoom Children when a score of intrepid fund-raisers set off to cover the 600 kilometres between Kalgoorlie and Perth. As a result of their efforts, thousands of dollars were raised for medical research.1 The Society remains an active and inspirational group which provides care and support for victims while at the same time pushing forward innovative projects and lobbying efforts on their behalf. Well done to all the golfers who took part and the ADSA staff who facilitated the latest event!
