I stand by my comment. While the USA Relay for Life is a great program, I have seen FAR too many Australians, Germans, Canadians who donate to it alone and think their money is actually helping THEIR community.

Wouldn't you rather donate to your own countries cancer society and see new wards for Cancer Victims, research done in your country without the issues of USA control of the patents and the associated high cost to you and your family in a few years, Support Services that you, your family and your community can use?

As I said, by all means send a few Lindens to this AMERICAN charity with the thought that a tiny 12% will go to a worldwide fund (who will take their administration fees out on top) but PLEASE donate to your own countries cancer charity too.

If the American Relay for Life in Second Life was decent they would actually highlight that just 12% of the funds is distributed to the rest of the world when the bulk was actually coming from people OUTSIDE their country... but instead they pretend they are helping everyone... flags of all nations... nations that will get just a few dollars each.
