The Komen organization tends to lead people think they are the only cancer charity out there.
I’ve been to relay for life events locally. Both in support of my teen son for leukemia and as a former cancer patient myself.
Probably insensitive to say, but going to those events you get the feeling it was for breast cancer only. Few men and my son was the only child with cancer there.
You would think such events would work with local children’s hospitals to support the kids and their families.
Personally, I have a lot of empathy for the women that did/do all that fundraising work for SGK so they could go on those 3 day walks. It just disappointed me to not be able to find out how all that emotion, sweat, tears, and personal fulfillment of the participants translated into substantive help for research for the cure.
