You can trust me, I don't make BIG $$$!

I'm with you on this for sure. Here's what I have said in the past:

I've always thought that raising awareness was strange. Because where does it go from there?

It goes to raising money, that's where it goes!

Then what? What happens after that? Who gets the money? Why have they been raising awareness for causes -- seemingly forever, but those illnesses are not any closer to being cured.

Raising awareness is another hustle, another grift.

All of the largest non-profits raising awareness employ people, and those people make money working to "raise awareness." How much money actually goes to research? How many companies are going to actually perform research for illnesses that already have "treatments?"

It's a perpetual fund raiser -- which benefits the people who organize the fund raiser.
