Mesothelioma

Lung Leavin’ Day holds great significance as it symbolizes the triumph of courage over fear. Founded by mesothelioma survivor Heather Von St. James, this annual event brings attention to mesothelioma, a rare cancer caused by asbestos exposure. Through symbolic rituals like plate-breaking and bonfires, it empowers individuals to confront their fears head-on. Moreover, Lung Leavin’ Day serves as a platform to support those battling mesothelioma and to raise awareness about its risks. It showcases the strength of community solidarity and the importance of fostering an environment where individuals can share their journeys, find solace, and inspire one another.
