My BS Meter has been twitching since I read this story.
My BS meter started twitching too, when she mentioned in the first TV interview that she has MS and the treatments are expensive. That had nothing to do with the story, so why mention it? So I did some searching. The first result was Oshawa Woman’s Small Victories After Controversial MS Therapy, where we learn that Karla and hubby went to Mexico to get MS therapy. She complained to the press that the treatment wasn't available in Canada. Next, Rock'n'Roll Heaven Legends Show - Jul 11/09 - Toronto ON invited everyone to attend a show where all the proceeds went to The Karla Begley Foundation, a non-profit organization benefiting Karla Begley. Then check out We all care - Justice for Max to see the newest fundraiser, mentioned in a Global News article yesterday. That came up a little too quickly to be unplanned. I would not be surprised to discover that Karla Begley herself wrote that letter. Maybe the neighbors asked her to try to control her kid's screaming, so she figured she could shut them up and make some money at the same time.
