The holidays are always a busy time for everyone, and here at ADAO it's no different! We are excited to introduce "ADAO Asbestos Information," our new free ADAO mobile app from Apple! Access to the latest asbestos information and resources for patients, families, workers, and homeowners, is now easier and faster than ever before.

Register today! ADAO has officially launched our 10th Annual ADAO International Asbestos Awareness Conference, "Where Knowledge and Action Unite." The event will be held on April 4 - 6, 2013 in Washington D.C. Over 30 renowned experts and asbestos victims will present on the latest advancements in disease prevention, global advocacy, and treatment for mesothelioma and other asbestos-related diseases.  

In November, ADAO continued our legislative efforts in Washington by representing the voice of the victims at the U.S. House staff briefing in opposition to "The Furthering Asbestos Claim Transparency (FACT) Act - H.R. 982." We are the only organization going to Washington to represent asbestos victims' rights and we won't stop until these victims are represented as they deserve. 

As we come to the end of the year, I want to give special thanks to the many ADAO volunteers, interns, brave mesothelioma patients and families for their continued support. To those who have shared their stories, served as conference presenters, 2013 Conference Sponsors, and members of the ADAO Leadership and Science Advisory Board we are eternally grateful. These are the individuals who fuel our work with contributions in dollars, hours, thought, and action. Sincerely, I hope that this holiday season is joyful and restful for you and your loved ones! 

In unity,
