Photographer Karl Richter worked at a factory for a couple of years in his early 20s to help pay for university. But the job exposed him to asbestos and almost 40 years later, he was diagnosed with an aggressive type of cancer called mesothelioma.
He received a world-first experimental treatment at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre known as S.M.A.R.T. (Surgery for Mesothelioma After Radiation Therapy).
Eight years after his diagnosis, Karl is doing very well. He now encourages everyone to support the Princess Margaret Home Lottery.
“Even if you don’t win, you are funding work that is saving lives and improving lives for so many people and you might need it yourself one day.”
