true but if this brings in what is it now for als on the last count

$80 million, whats the real harm

Nothing, if you ignore the fact that makes most people doing it sanctimonious cretins. ;)

 

On the flip side, this may mean that donations to other charities go down as people feel they've done their bit for this year.

Giving money to charity is good, mostly. Giving it to one you actually care about is better.

 

Fair enough?

 

Exactly my point earlier, and the reason why anyone knocking on my door gets is slammed in their face and anyone that stops me in the street gets short shrift, I have been known to push people out of the way if they jump in front of me :blush:

well yea and no, going back to my sister and here DIDMOAD its such a rear disorder that they amount of people dont know about it and therefor it doesn't mean anything to 99% of the population

So in that term my sister syndrome doesn't deserve @*!# in regards to donations compared with cancer because more people are aware of cancer?

I shave my balls on a regular basis.. lol

Me too, I've been doing it for years. Normally I just trim everything up with a set of clippers, but a couple of times a year I'll break the wet shave out as well and do it properly.

If anyone is interested I will be shaving my balls for testicular cancer soon ;)

Didn't they start doing cameltoe selfies for awareness on cervical cancer last month?

 

Just starting a FB page

 

Shave your conkers or you are bonkers

Being aware has nothing to do with it, or shouldn't have. It should be about something you care about.

 

In a more direct answer to your question, I'm not sure I have an answer for you. I'm not sure anyone could.

right most people will ironically start donating or care for a cause once a close one has had cancer how many people get cancer these days 15-16 million a year

 

the amount of people ever recorded with didmoad is is around the 500,000 mark

 

so going by what youve said cancer should get 320 times more donations than wolfram syndrome support group,

 

so by that noone one should donate to didmoad because noone in comparison is effected by it,

 

and that because people arnt effect because of it they shouldn't donate to it ?

 

i guess what im saying is my sister should die blind at 30 because people like you dont give a **** about it

I'm not ignoring your post Steve, but I don't have an answer for it. I feel for your sister, you and your family, and it must be awful to know there's nothing you can do. Life isn't fair, and bad things happen to good people, but none of that claptrap makes your situation any easier to bear.

It's not that we don't give a **** about it, as was pointed out earlier so many of these rarer afflictions are just unknown to the majority simply because of the rarity. I certainly had not heard of Didmoad until now. :surrender:
