I support worthy causes now and then. But I feel it's very disingenuous when people solicit money for causes that affect them. For example, I've given money for breast cancer research, even run in races for the cause. But when I find that someone raising money for it is a breast cancer survivor, I suddenly think less of them.
You know who I'd respect? A cancer survivor who's raising money for Cerebral Palsey. Or an organ donor recipient who's raising money for Cystic Fibrosis.
When you're raising money for a cause that directly affects you, that's not very noble. Christopher Reeve never gave a **** about paralysis until he broke his own spine. That's not heroism, that's selfishness.
Just me, or everyone?
