[quote=Motormasher;297947]Donating to "cancer research" is a WASTE OF MONEY!
It's been researched for years and they "the cancer industry" is hiding the answers......Suzanne Summers has already blew them out of the water not to mention many others. Www.thecancertutor.com [size=1][i]Posted via Mobileme! I'm editing this post for 2 reasons. First my point got across and my offer stands. Second I don't want to be any more of a distraction to this post since its intention is to highlight that two good people have made a conscious effort to help those in need. The V Foundation uses every penny it gets for cancer research and has made great strides. Some day, we may just cure this nasty disease. See u all at kokomo. Pete Gulick Posted via Mobile Device

Just seen Joe Spiker matched the $1000 the crowd donated! Class act in my book!! Cancer research a waste? That guy is truly an idiot!

Motormasher,
Are you and "Calistoga" out drinking? I'm not going to sit here and threaten you and call you names, but you'll get what is coming for you. You need to just man up and apologize to EVERYYONE that had to read your comment. You should be embarrased of yourself. Regardless of your views on cancer research, how could you voice your opinion like that when the racing FAMILY is coming together to raise money in her name? Chad Smith Posted via Mobile Device |

With regards to ovarian cancer specifically, research has changed this from a 20% survival rate to 50% through developing better treatments and tests. When you have ovaries I'll take your views into consideration, until then do some looking into facts on your own.
Indeed, the death rates for cancer in the U.S. have dropped by 22% for men and 14% for women between 1990 and 2007. And in 1975, only 50% of people diagnosed with cancer could expect to live for another five years; now nearly 70% do. Among children, the gains are even greater: 80% of youngsters can expect to survive their childhood cancer today, compared with 52% in 1975. I used to do quite a bit of work with St Jude's Children's Hospital and can tell you research does help - how many years did people bake themselves in the sun before the discovered it is linked to skin cancer.....I could go on and on but it's late. If you want to donate $2000 of your own $$ to Suzanne in the Stockon family name I'm sure that would be a nice gesture and you can put your money where your convictions lie.
