Paddling for Mesothelioma
Once again this year, attorney Joseph W. Belluck and others from the New York law firm of Belluck & Fox, LLP will kayak 16 miles to raise awareness and donations to fight mesothelioma, an aggressive cancer caused by asbestos exposure.
Belluck, a partner at Belluck & Fox, LLP, which concentrates on representing victims of mesothelioma, and approximately 130 others will participate in the Kayaking 4 Meso event, to be held September 12, on the Hudson River. Kayakers will paddle from Schuylerville, NY through Stillwater, where they will pick up other kayakers, and finish at the Mechanicville boat dock. There will be festivities and a celebration at Mechanicville.
Mark Wells, whose daughter Linda was diagnosed with peritoneal mesothelioma at age 16, organized the annual Kayaking 4 Meso event to help educate the public about the dangers of asbestos and to raise money for mesothelioma research. Peritoneal mesothelioma affects the lining of the abdominal cavity and is less common than pleural mesothelioma, that affects the lungs. Linda has been battling the disease for approximately 10 years, enduring six major surgeries and several rounds of chemotherapy, her father said.
Mesothelioma is a cancer caused by inhaling or swallowing asbestos fibers. There is as yet no known cure and researchers are seeking more effective treatments to manage the disease. Approximately 2,500 to 3,000 people in the United States are diagnosed with mesothelioma each year.
Money raised will be donated to the Mesothelioma Applied Research Foundation, a national non-profit “dedicated to eradicating the life-ending and vicious effects of mesothelioma.”
Belluck & Fox, LLP is one of the sponsors of the event.
