  • It's like a slap in the face

    KFC has teamed up with Susan G Komen in quite the most revolting PINK CRAP NONSENSE I have ever seen.

    I mean it's not like Obesity is linked to cancer, and the recurrence of cancer. Oh no. Not at all.

    So why, in the name of everything that's holy and secular, did Susan G Komen team up with a fast food joint to raise money?

    Laurie, at Not Just About Cancer brought this to my attention.

    It's another reason to ignore all the pink cr*p out there, and just give directly to your favourite cancer charity.

    On that note....

    I am doing both the 5km Race for Life and the 10km Macmillan Fun Run this year. I shall end all posts until June with a shameless plea to donate: because if you can manage £2, which is, I believe, the minimum allowed, and all of you do that, well, that'll get me to my target no problem! The Race for Life money goes towards Cancer Research, and the Fun Run money goes to Macmillan Cancer Support. The former charity is all about scientific research, the latter about living with cancer, and making life a bit easier for people affected by cancer.
