the ignorance is unbelievable.

essentially someone figured CF only affected white males, and thus they shouldn't fund it... because it only affects a small spectrum. that's like not supporting breast cancer research because it only affects women, or aids because it's really only a problem in africa. stupidity.

unbelievable... when I heard this I was extremely angered.

i was debating sending some emails to the president "Brittany Smyth," but i have since cooled off. if you would like to feel free, i'll try to find her contact info.

Sigh. I live close to Ottawa and this is all I have been hearing about for the past week. Family members, coworkers, everyone has been asking me about it! And it's on the radio every 5 minutes. It's sad to see an educational institute using such poor researching skills. I heard that they have reconsidered and are not dropping the Shinerama fundraiser due to the all the negative publicity.
