I go along with Peter, But also remember many survive cancer as I know from one very close to home - so why wait till you die to send Cancer research some money - we have a standing order every month so not only do they get the cash now but when a breakthrough is announced on the news we can think" I`ve played a part in that.".
Bear in mind that Cancer Research UK have 189 staff earning over £60,000 p.a. and their Chief Executive pockets up to £240,000 a year. I'd rather spend the money on fags.
Twenty two years ago my father in law died of cancer weeks after the birth of my son and following his death I set up a small standing order to cancer research.
Twenty one years later my son was diagnosed with cancer. I like to think that irrespective of the salaries of those employees, the small contribution that I and millions of others have provided has gone some way to keeping him and millions of others alive.
It has been a good investment in my view.
It is better to have 80% of something than 100% of nothing.
