Pity.....while I have not been personally touched by the issue of breast cancer, nor any of my family or close friends, it is a worthwhile cause. But prior to the Planned Parenthood debacle, I had become jaded with the “cause du jour” tone of the charity. I’ve been throwing my support more towards the red dress movement, and raising awareness of cardiac care for women.
Good—they never should have invested themselves and my(former) contributions to murdering babies.
Wonder if family registration will return next year after this year’s abysmal failure for fundraising? Because last year, a family could register, and all the family members could fundraise, but this year, they wanted a form and a fee for each and every person... Family of four last year: $95. This year: $120, plus 3 more pieces of paper.

My sweet wife says she’ll not give them another cent.
Good!!
Despite being pushed by local media.
One major problem with Komen is that it only includes the kill cancer at all costs old school oncology.
There is evidence that actually keeping your immune system and feeding and designing a healthy lifestyle for the patient can give them more life at better quality.
Old school oncology is often an attempt to cure a hangnail by chopping off the finger.
When some patients are fed only nourishing food and large amounts of deficient hormones, vitamins, etc, they stay well, no sickness, loss of strength, hair, or life, but instead live a full, long life sometimes with a present tumor or even losing it. But even with the breast cancer tumor being present, the patients live a great life, something like people with HIV do. Since this is happening more and more, these moneybags foundations should at least include more support for healthful treatment research rather than focusing only on the pitiable bald chemo patients. Sometimes it reminds me, sadly, of the beggars in India deliberately maiming themselves so they make more money.
And my heart goes out to all the patients who endure chemo. I think it’s barbaric to kill off the immune system that Gd intended to keep us healthy with.
Good, maybe now we won’t have to see pink football shoes, pink bats, and pink race cars anymore!!
I’ve done the 60 mile in three days Komen two times. The PP issue bothered me but I wore and passed out pink precious feet.
This year I’m walking in the Avon walk. There are several during the year but I’m doing the one in Charlotte NC in October. Any freepers with bad stuff about Avon let me know. I like the fact that they post on their website where their money goes. I waded into that but couldn’t find PP anywhere. Plus its only two days and half the money to raise. Anyone wanting to donate, freepermail me.
Higher mama’s boy rankers push this crap on soldiers in garrisons. It’s a disgusting federally sponsored racket. Communist try to highjack and insert themselves as to be defended by the Army in the future. It’s so unconstitutional. Our nation is termite infestated.
Who should give money to a foundation who caves to butchers, not anyone I know anymore, these liberal idiots have managed to set back cancer funding and runs 30 years. Nice job Komen!
Good Riddance, There are many avenues to give to good causes which will receive more of the donated money and none will go to other evil causes.
You have to be pretty special to anger both sides of the political spectrum at the same time.
Don’t give to Komen, they are controlled by Planned Parenthood.
