The Leukemia Society is an excellent organization. They fund research which has produced some of the best treatments available. http://www.cancer.gov/newscenter/qandagleevec Gleevec alone promises to elminate or help fight not just leukemia but many different types of cancer. And yes, Gleevec was developed thru research funded and assisted by the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. I hope we all have the same good luck that "Wilbur Hubbard" apparently enjoys, and then Leukemia Society can simply fade away unneeded. Doug King |

Is that what's laid you low, Leukemia?
DougKing888 wrote If I said yes, would you send them some money? Only my prayers. They are worth more than money. But not as reliable, unfortunately. In any event, I don't want to perpetuate the misconception that I have leukemia. However, a long time ago a person in my immediate family died of it. But even if that had never happened, The Leukemia Society is one of the best charity organizations around. Does your faith require tithing? Does your church support any charities? If you have bread and aren't willing to share it with the hungry, then you don't deserve it yourself. That belief is basic to most religions, but it seems to get lost for most people nowadays. Regards Doug King |

Regards Doug King I belong to the Baptist Church. They claim to give every dime to charity that's donated to charity causes directly through them. They take zero for "administrative costs." I also tithe weekly to the church general fund. But, since I only have about six grand a year income and tithing is only on income it only amounts to about twenty bucks a week. It's the least I can do. Wilbur Hubbard |
