The Simmons law firm has been an avid supporter of the Mesothelioma Applied Research Foundation for a number of years. The Meso Foundation is the national organization dedicated to eradicating mesothelioma as a life-ending disease by:
- funding the highest quality and most promising research projects from around the world through our rigorous peer-reviewed process;
- helping patients connect with national mesothelioma experts and obtain the most up-to-date information on treatment options;
- and advocating in Washington D.C. for federal mesothelioma research funding to stop this national tragedy.
The work of the Foundation is funded by mesothelioma patients and their families who have invested generously in the search for a cure, as well as law firms, drug companies, and companies formerly involved with asbestos, all of whom have joined in the common mission of curing the disease.
The Meso Foundation has a four-start charity rating by Charity Navigation.
Meso Foundation Mission Statement
"The Mesothelioma Applied Research Foundation is the nonprofit collaboration of patients and families, physicians, advocates, and researchers dedicated to eradicating the life-ending and vicious effects of mesothelioma. We believe in a cure for meso. Given the human toll of suffering the disease causes, the compassion and energy of the meso community, the moral, legal and economic aspects of asbestos, and the benefits of meso research to cancer research generally, we believe that the resources to accomplish this cure are available and must be mobilized."
