About this Publication
Addison's Disease Self Help Group newsletter, issue 84, June 2006
Welcome to the summer newsletter for the ADSHG. Our exciting summer news is the launch of the Addison’s rose, Our Beth, at Chelsea on 22 May. This new rose from Peter Beales Roses is available thanks to a bequest from the Loasby family. Peter Beales Roses are making 10% of all sales proceeds available to the ADSHG in memory of their staff member, Beth Loasby, who had Addison’s and diabetes. We hope the gardeners among you will find a corner somewhere for this lovely rose, which will be available mail order from autumn 2006, as you can read on page 3.
