I received a call from them today soliciting money and the caller emphasized the dire straits of the "victims of this horrible disease" ; the caller hung up after I told her I couldn't donate - didn't even say, "Goodbye!" My suspicions are confirmed by the comments posted by others. I never donate by phone anymore nor do I ask them to send an info packet. If I'm interested in a worthy charity, I will find them or I will read about it via print or internet.
