On behalf on my 4 year old who has cancer and his 9 yr old and 7 yr old brother, I find this advert insensitive, offensive and hurtful.

Yes, I was shocked to read this utterly insensitive stupid slogan, not clever advertising. Awful!!

Even my 10 year old asked me when he saw it, "Why would they EVER say I want to get cancer". It's insensitive and disrespectful. Nobody would ever wish for cancer. My kids are asking me if my Granfather asked to get cancer. I have been a long time supporter (24 years) of the ICS but after this campaign, I am sorry to say that my funds will most definately you be going somewhere else. Re-think your shock tactics. Sometimes you get known for all the wrong reasons and in return your donations are cut. Is it really worth it? I doubt it.
