In the late 70's, my grandmother told me they'll never find a cure for cancer. There's too much money in it. I refuse participate in cancer fundraising. You're just fueling the machine.

35 years ago, when I got caught up in "running for a cause", I raised about $3k for some kind of cancer. When I arrived at their offices to drop off my (their?) earnings, my jaw dropped at the over-the-top opulence of said offices. No detail was spared-- even the restroom was gilded and finely appointed. The only "employee" there, who took my donation explained that the rest of the staff was on a Caribbean junket with the national organization.

I never "ran for a cause" again.
