My company is in full push mode for this event...tailgate party ahead...everyones wearing pink...(I’m not)...and every morning management stands up to promote it heavily.
My work associates cannot understand why I am not supporting this “good” cause when so many people have family members or friends who have lost loved ones to cancer. I thus far have simply said I don’t care to participate....which astounds them since I have had three bouts with cancer in my lifetime.
Komen is just another money grabbing organization...did nothing for me nor were any available to assit....I was simply put thru to one line after another line and another and another....it was like being in a telephone referral ferriswheel!
I had breast cancer and spent a full year undergoing treatment at our excellent cancer center. I saw no help from Susan B Komen anywhere in the center. The American Cancer Society was everywhere.
Their volunteers were always in the waiting room waiting for people they drove back and forth to appointments. They have a store that gives away wigs. They run a group to help people connect with others who have cancer.
I will continue to donate to them.
