πŸ’™ Remembering Karen Banton πŸ’™

We were saddened to hear of the recent passing of Karen Banton, a tireless advocate for people affected by asbestos-related disease and the widow of Bernie Banton AM, who died from mesothelioma in 2007.

Following Bernie’s death, Karen continued the work they had begun together. Through the Bernie Banton Foundation, she advocated for people living with asbestos-related disease, supported families and worked to raise awareness of the ongoing risks of exposure.

When the Bernie Banton Foundation closed its doors in 2020, Reflections (now MADDA) became a beneficiary and continued much of their work supporting people affected by mesothelioma.

πŸ’™ Karen and her husband, Rod Smith, continued to support and advocate for people affected by asbestos disease. Both had lost their spouses to , giving their advocacy a deeply personal connection to the people and families they supported.

We extend our deepest condolences to Rod, Karen’s family, friends, and everyone who knew and worked alongside her.

πŸ’™ We are grateful for the contribution Karen made to the asbestos and mesothelioma community, and for the legacy she leaves behind.

Not at all.

MADDA supports:
πŸ’™ People living with mesothelioma
πŸ’™ Their families
πŸ’™ Carers
πŸ’™ Loved ones
πŸ’™ Those who are bereaved

Because a mesothelioma diagnosis affects everyone, not just the person with the disease.
