My name is Timothy Cavanaugh and I’m the National Awareness Coordinator for the Mesothelioma Cancer Center. I’m also a Veteran, I served in the Air Force as a Combat Controller.

Countless veterans are currently suffering from life-threatening illnesses that are a result of exposure to asbestos, a material that was commonly used in hundreds of military applications, products, and ships primarily because of its resistance to fire. Unfortunately, asbestos-related diseases are not always recognized by the VA, which is why we’ve hired a knowledgeable 20-year navy veteran that can assist those affected by asbestos-related diseases with filing for VA benefits.
In addition, we have thousands of articles regarding asbestos and mesothelioma and we've even created a veterans-specific section on our website in order to help inform them about the dangers of asbestos exposure.
