I think you meat that skin cancer was the most common, not the most deadly:

Melanoma in the United States – 2009 Estimates
New Cases     68,720
Deaths Per Year    8,650
5-Year Localized Survival Rate*    99%
5-Year Overall Survival Rate*    91%


Compared to pancreatic cancer
Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer death for both men and women.
    * Pancreatic cancer is one of the most deadly of all types of cancer.
    * This year 32,000 Americans will be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and about 32,000 will die from it.
    * Despite the high mortality rate, the federal government spends woefully little money on pancreatic cancer research.

I think the all around worst - as in number of cases + mortality rate is lung cancer?

"Lung cancer is the deadliest type of cancer for both men and women. Each year, more people die of lung cancer than breast, colon, and prostate cancers combined."

Yes, that is correct, and it gets less funding (by far) than the other 3.

I find it ironic that the same person that posted these is complaining about other people's money being wasted.

let's meet up........I am sure my company would gladly pay for fell motorhead's cocktails

I would like a kick ass sushi place...........price is no concern as company is picking up that one 

I just got mad at my company and decided to upgrade my hotel:


Intercontinental San Francisco it is.

I remembered reading it since I have a 34yo friend fighting it as we speak.

The company I work for is for profit.

We pay postage.

Non-for profits don't pay postage.

Get that straight and then we'll talk.

Their posted financial statements are a make the beast with two backsing joke.

Look at a publicaly traded company.

We'll talk then.

Try email. It's cheaper.

For the company that you work for, what is the postage bill as a percentage of the gross?

Based on your original argument about SGKF (their alleged low support to research vs. funds raised), this is a pretty weak statement since all non-profits would benefit from not having to pay postage.

Just sayin'.

As I recall, one of the reasons the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer broke away was the way that money was being spent/not spent.  Avon now does it's own event in at least 9 cities.  I believe (could be wrong) that Avon is VERY upfront about where the money is going.

I walked in May in Washington, DC and this weekend Zooom and I are riding to Charlotte, NC to work the motocrew there to assist the walkers.

I was all fired up...then I thought:

SGKF has had zero impact or effect on Cyrus' life.   But it's easy to sit back and trash people or things and be holier than though about who in the world is doing things wrong.    And it's been years of the same pattern...posting up what sucks and what's wrong with everything.   

Believing that there are more than a small handfull of people who want cancer to not be cured because of the current money is too sad and pathetic to spend much time on.
 

No matter who is getting fat off the money, there has been millions...hundreds of millions....put to good use.   Would it be better to shut the entire thing down?   If I am organized and clever enough to start the ball rolling and get people involved (even suckered in),  isn't the hundreds of millions spent for good causes better than zero?    You're a big proponent of people as sheep thinking....if the general public is dumb, isn't it great to fleece them into giving some money up for this cause? 

So I guess I'm asking, with all the pregnant doging and complaining....got a suggestion for a fix?   What would actually make you happy?  (other than continually pointing out flaws in the world online that is)

in the realm of improving the world for others, I still have to say SGKF as a whole is higher on my list than Cyrus.

Do something usefull and productive for your community.  At that point, and to use your phrasing,  we'll talk then.

You know nothing about my life and what I am involved.

Ever heard of big brother's big sisters?
How about coaching youth soccer?

Once you read about the first group and know about volunteering to coach, I'd keep your mouth shut about what I do in in my personal time.

I do plenty for my community.

wow, even your happy subject posts are full of hate.   smile, boss, you'll live longer.   

and you're absolutely right...all we know is what you post about...we do keep hearing how you're not actually like that though.

(and if you want people to keep their mouths shut, why post strong opinions and about strong topics?  I call bullshit and think you thrive on the attention)

[cyrus buelton]

Ok Chris.
