“There’s another walk for a cancer, and I say enough is enough.\u00a0 In 1913, a society was formed to study cancer, and to discover the possible causes.\u00a0 During this period, cancer was blamed for everything that the doctor had no answer for.<\/p>\n
“In 1934, women joined in the fight.\u00a0 One of the things accomplished was changing the name to what we have today, the American Cancer Society (ACS).\u00a0 Let’s now go to 1971.\u00a0 Richard Nixon was our president, and one of the major objectives outlined in hs State of the Union address was for Congress to approve additional funding for his “War on Cancer.”\u00a0 Still no cure.<\/p>\n
“Here we are, 90 years after the \u00a0ACS was formed, and still no cure.\u00a0 Cancer touches every family worldwide and yet we still walk or run for a cure with no questions.\u00a0 It’s time to demand a cure.\u00a0 We are quick to voice our objections to our government every day and hold politicians accountable.\u00a0 Isn’t it time to hold the ACS accountable?\u00a0 Demand a cure and demand that the cuurrent 15 cents on every dollar for research be increased.\u00a0 Let the head of ACS and the top administrative staff take pay cuts, with no bonus money paid until we have a cure.<\/strong><\/p>\n “Personally, I believe there’s a cure, but think about the job losses and the effect on this economy.\u00a0 Let’s all hold the ACS accountable for a cure now, not later.\u00a0 It’s long overdue.”<\/p>\n My note<\/em>: Now, as diabetes runs rampant alongside cancer with Parkinsons Disease and Multiple Sclerosis close, along with too-oo-oo many other diseases<\/em>,\u00a0each and every money-raising-disease organization needs to\u00a0read this.\u00a0 15 cents from every dollar raised is ludicrous.\u00a0 As I’ve written before, coontributions to research are a bottomless pit.\u00a0 I know first hand – I’ve been raising money for St. Jude’s, JDRF (Joslin Diabetes Research Foundation), the ADA (American Diabetes Association), and so so many others for 45 years now!\u00a0 Cure something, release the cures, darn it.\u00a0 THIS DECADE!\u00a0 Yes, they are long overdue!\u00a0<\/p>\n Truly, \u00a0A.
