I can see both sides to be honest, I wish other cancers would get the highlights that breastcancer does and also the funding, but that's a whole other story.

As the Moderator of the Komen forums I'm used to reading negative comments about the organization, I have no control over that but can only say that I personally was supported and helped through my own treatments by the ladies on Komen at that time and made some life long friends there, for that reason alone I do what I do to pay it forward and ensure every new member gets the help and welcome they deserve whatever the politics!
