Amen.
I’d like to see the data that supports the impact of “awareness” in fighting a disease (especially awareness rooted in changing one’s avatar). I’d love to see a connection drawn between awareness and “actually finding a cure”, too. Is anyone unaware of AIDS at this point?
While I’m complaining, I love fund raising, but don’t see what other people exercising has to do with me supporting a cause they believe in. If I got an email from someone that said,
“I’m not running a single foot, but I’d love it if you’d give to this cause…”
I’d be just as likely to give. My charity is a function of my belief in the cause, and the strength of my friendship. I’m not impressed by mileage :-)
