Get ready to lace up your running shoes and make a difference! Simmons Hanly Conroy is inviting everyone to participate in the 17th Annual Miles for Meso Race, an event dedicated to fighting mesothelioma, a rare but deadly form of cancer caused by asbestos exposure. This year, the race will take place on September 20, 2025.
The Miles for Meso race isn’t just about fitness; it’s a rallying cry for a cause that affects thousands of people across the globe. This year, Penny Jo Major, a prominent figure in the fight against asbestos-related diseases, will serve as the team captain for the Ban Asbestos Miles for Meso Team. Major’s leadership and passion for the cause make her an ideal figurehead for this important event.
The race day roster includes the Alton Miles for Meso 5K Race and the 3K Fun Run/Walk. Whether you’re an experienced runner or a casual walker, there’s a place for you to participate and show your support for those impacted by mesothelioma.
In anticipation of this event, the Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization (ADAO) has launched a new graphic packed with resources about asbestos and mesothelioma. This new resource aims to educate the public about the dangers of asbestos and the importance of banning its use.
Stay tuned to the ADAO’s website for more updates and resources related to asbestos disease awareness. Remember, every step taken in the Miles for Meso Race is a step towards a world without mesothelioma. Register today and join the fight against this devastating disease.
