"Great, the promotion of yet another charity that will take money from the public and give it to drug companies so they can research their latest money making pill, that will come under yet another postcode lottery, because the NHS can't afford what the drug companies charge, for the treatments of the cancers which occur mostly becuase of the severe pollution that 'development' causes us to exist in such a toxic waste dump that was plant earth. It's a shame that the cancer charities don't simply plough the money straight into the causes of cancers rather than funding the profits of the treatments. By reducing pollutants and the chemical overloads on our bodies and our children's bodies cancers could be reduced enormously. Instead celebrities will flout they're apparently 'beautiful' bodies, whilst subjecting women and young girls to insecurities about their own un-airbrushed body, so they will buy the cosmetics and smoke the cigarettes which keep them thin and wrinkle free, whilst polluting their body with the chemicals which cause the cancer that the drug companies profit from all thanks to the cancer research charities.
