Humour where needed

How rude and presumptuous! I would have done the same thing Janey. I inquired about a big cancer fundraiser a couple of months ago. I didn't really know too much about it and sent an online inquiry. They telephoned within 10 mins - great response time. After them explaining what it was about I said I would have to decline and perhaps next year I can participate when my own health and fitness was better (all weekend, 2 days of walking). She kept persisting saying you didn't really need to be that fit etc etc. I explained that I am only a month out from chemo and I didn't foresee me being able to do it. Anyways, you would think that I would be "flagged" as a no show. No - not to be...every couple of weeks I get a telephone call on my mobile. It is a pre recorded message saying hi my name is blah blah and I am a cancer survivor and does a spiel. I have hung up on them twice now. Yes I know it is a wonderful cause, yes it's wonderful so many people donate their time to raise funds but I think it is a bit too in your face. If it were any other charity that push sells I would make a mental note not to donate! Maybe that's what is needed nowadays??
