This angers me, too. A friend’s partner died of liver cancer yesterday, and a RL family member is… probably not going to be around for the Relay For Life survivor’s lap in July. This is unjust; it stratifies cancer charities into “worthy” and “unworthy” if small charities can’t use the phrase or even the word “cure” for their events. I am still collecting links and trying to verify any relationship between Relay For Life, a charity of the American Cancer Society, and the Susan G Komen Foundation. I will no longer be buying products using the Susan G Konen foundation…

This is disturbing and so very wrong. The nation’s leading breast-cancer charity, Susan G. Komen for the Cure, is halting its partnerships with Planned Parenthood affiliates — creating a bitter rift, linked to the abortion debate, between two iconic organizations that have assisted millions of women. The change will mean a cutoff of hundreds of thousands of dollars in grants, mainly for breast exams. Link: NPR.org » Komen Charity Ends Grants To Planned Parenthood
