Cancer Research is it all a scam? Shocking News
March 14th, 2010 by Matt WatermanRead the shocking email below
I’m sick of people getting cancer it’s about time action was taken with all the money raised; I have even lost 2 family members to this. Funny how all the big bosses of cancer organisations have ridicules large salaries and lavish lifestyles.
Three years ago I contacted Cancer Research UK on behalf of Virgin Motors as they were willing to offer £50 per car sale, I thought they would jump at the chance with this offer on the plate but Cancer Research UK wanted £20,000 before they would accept corporate donations like this which shocked me and we looked at another charity to support.
We all see the TV ad campaigns give money to fight cancer but what about the millions they refuse from businesses wanting to support them.

Dear Matt
Many thanks for your email and your interest in supporting the charity. We would always require a minimum income guarantee from any promotion we undertake with a commercial partner. Typically it would be more than £20,000 but I can’t tell you what we might require in your case without knowing more about your proposed activity.
We agree an appropriate amount in each case based on the complexity of the promotion and the value of our brand to the commercial partner. I am attaching a proposal evaluation template and would be glad if you would complete this and send it back in order for us to be able to advise further.
I will look forward to hearing back from you.
Kindest regards
Lorraine Williams
Corporate Partnerships Manager

Dear Sir / Madam
I have many clients wanting to support Cancer Research UK that will donate money with every sale or service provided, I contacted you three years ago when I worked for Virgin Motors that wanted to give you £50 for every car sale and list a little logo on their site saying they support cancer research, Does the fee of £20,000 still stand before you start accepting donations?
Thanks
Matt Waterman
I really think the Government should take action and look at what the charities are spending our money on.

I won’t give Cancer Research a penny, their expenditure on the biggest killers(ie lung & pancreatic) and also the least known cancers like carcinoid is scandalous. They say they can only do research on a particular cancer if proposals are put forward by well known researchers in the field, but how come they don’t encourage this by seeking researchers who will undertake work on these big killers? I wrote to them and asked if they would fund research on Low Dose Naltrexone which I believe has kept me alive for the last three years, they say they would need an application, so why not encourage these? Believe me I could go on and on about that charity, it’s charity for some but not for others. Aren’t you supposed to do charities for free, yet their salary expenditure is enormous, people are doing these ‘runs for life’ and raising thousands, little knowing that the money they raise is probably not going towards the very cancer they are running for. Of course Cancer Research will try and justify themselves, but it don’t work for me, hence, I treat myself with Low Dose Naltrexone, which they don’t encourage research for, after all, big Pharma with all of it’s funding is not behind this cheap little out of patent drug, again, all I can say is it’s a scandal!!!
