About our cause

The aim of the Raymond Holland Dock Workers Memorial Fund (RHDWMF) is to support and raise vital funds towards the much needed research into finding a cure for Mesothelioma. Raymond Holland, known to his colleagues and family as Ray worked as a docker for over 30 years and sadly contracted Mesothelioma. After a very courageous battle against the disease he sadly lost his fight for life in November 2011, leaving behind his devoted wife Margaret, 5 children, 7 grandchildren and a great grand daughter. In memory of Ray, and all other dock workers and their families affected by Mesothelioma or who have sadly lost their lives to this disease, the Raymond Holland Dock Workers Memorial Fund, is set up in memory of them all. Mesothelioma is a malignant lung disease caused by the exposure to asbestos and can take up to 60 years to develop following exposure. Sadly the number of deaths caused by this disease are on the increase. All donations recieved by the RHDWMF are used to support the vital work of the June Hancock Mesothelioma Research Fund. Registered Charity.
