Samantha Cox, founder of PRASAG, decided to create this group in memory of her father, Paul Readhead, who suffered withmesothelioma. When her father was diagnosed with the disease the family were shocked and not sure where to turn, knowing very little about that type of cancer. The support group that was running in his local area (HASAG) were a huge strength to Paul and his family at a desperate time. They not only signposted but also offered a monthly support group which herfather loved to attend, and got great comfort from.
