The Future?Centre?Trust (FCT) is seeking to raise funds to further investigate the Louis Lynch Secondary School environmental saga.
The organisation’s advocacy director, Kammie Holder, sent out an appeal last week on social network sites such as Facebook asking former students and staff who are ailing to contact the FCT.
A week ago, the SUNDAY SUN highlighted that concern was mounting among former students who attended the now closed secondary school because over 20 former students had died since 2002 from cancer and endocrine diseases while many more were said to be ill.
Louis Lynch Secondary School was officially closed in 2007 after two scientific studies raised a number of environmental red flags, including the discovery of the cancer-causing chemical perchloroethylene, which is used in dry cleaning.
