This is a great donation, that seems to be going to exactly the right place. However, it's a little unfortunate that Mr. Stanley only started donating to this cause after a member of his own family was affected.



I'm fairly certain you'd find that the vast majority of donations to any cause are from people who are personally affected in some way.


Agreed. And in this case, I think it's significant that the family member affected has controlled his illness long ago. The point of this donation is to help other people for whom such control is not yet possible.
