Memorial Service in Pictures

On the 6th May 2008 it was World Asthma Day and the George Coller Memorial Fund were determined to mark the occasion this year. The Charity worked hard throughout the year to generate interest and support from all regions of society. It started with the decision to hold a memorial service for those who have lost their lives to asthma. This seed of an idea snowballed into an event involving memorial services across the UK, crossing all religious boundaries, a visit to the House of Commons and a meeting with the health minister.
