Rays Bio.

My involvement  with Asbestos began in 1953, 66 years ago. I began my working life aged 15 as an apprentice in the  Royal Naval Shipyard  Chatham, when I was 15 years old. I  left the industry in 1962 after my national service. I was not happy  in the dirty dusty Asbestos environment in the shipbuilding industry and sought a cleaner working life. After taking on many  roles I  retrained in Electronics and remained in that industry until retirement.                 My last 25 + years were spent in Management and my final 10 years as the General Manager in a Fire and security company. With  no known further exposure to asbestos.
Some years later my wife Mavis was diagnosed with Mesothelioma and given 3 months to put her affairs in order. I became her carer living with chemo regimes. Eventually she had the Mavis Nye Foundation set up and became its President. I was introduced as the Vice Chair. My role was to  support  her and the foundation, I was the chauffeur the webmaster the IT man the travel companion. Anything that needed doing I did it. Its been 10  years since that diagnosis and what she has achieved is amazing. I will continue to  give my  support for as long as I am able.
I was diagnosed with lymphoma in December. But I  follow her example and just get on with what ever needs doing.
​    Neither of us have time to be ill and sit at home  in self-pity. Too many things to  achieve.
