In memory of Keith Turnbull
We raise funds for research and care to help those suffering with mesothelioma

Story

Keith Turnbull lost his brave battle with Mesothelioma 1/2/2012. He never worked with Asbestos but was the son of an Asbestos Moulder and unfortunately came into contact with Asbestos when it was brought home on his fathers clothing.

Keith was a person who loved being outdoors, he would enjoy cycling, camping or staying in youth hostels with friends and family. He loved feeling the wind in his face and felt very much at home when walking in the countryside, his favourite walk being the South Downs Way,  Keith continued this hobby until Mesothelioma meant he could no longer walk far, due to his lack of breathing capacity. He enjoyed birdwatching and photography. loved wild flowers and auspiciously the Snowdrop was one of his favourites, so it seems natural to chose a Snowdrop Fund as a lasting legacy for such a gentle man.

Keith will be missed terribly by his wife Judith, daughter Lise, son-in-law Chris, grand-daughters Isobel and Hannah, family and friends.
