#asbestos #IWMD2022 28th April 2022 ACV/GARDS and the GippslandTLC held our International Workers Memorial Day at Gippsland Heritage Park the first since before COVID – We paid our respects to the 62 Victorians who were tragically killed in work place accidents over the past year. We also remembered those who have lost their lives over the years and paid our respects to their families. Everyone has the right to come home safely from their work. Thank you to all those who joined with us today to support families grieving the loss of a loved one and showing how much you care for those who are suffering a workplace illness or disability

Jo & Kevin Packham
Kevin and I have been together for 35 years, married for 31, and are blessed with three gorgeous children and two grandchildren, with another on the way. After being misdiagnosed as having an autoimmune disease for almost 3 years, for which medication was not alleviating the abdominal pain, Kevin finally had a laparoscopy and was diagnosed with Peritoneal Mesothelioma. His tumour count was very high but he was lucky to have a very skilled surgeon who was able to do a full cytoreduction which included Hipec, followed by 4 sessions of Chemotherapy and has now had 3 clear scans. We chose to attack this cancer from all avenues including traditional medicine, eg chemotherapy along with Alternative Therapy which involves regular Vitamin C infusions and a very organic, healthy diet, plenty of exercise, daily meditation and reduce stress as much as possible. We look forward to sharing our journey in this webinar.
