This advertisment is easily taken wrongly and is insensitive to cancer sufferers. I don't doubt the intention was good, but it's come off sounding wrong.

This is what happens when marketing gets too big a say in charitable work. Cancer is nothing you want to get.

If I found this advery hard to comprehend on first seeing it, I can only imagine how young children are feeling! Very confusing and sending the wrong message across!

I'm signing this on behalf of my mother who has an incurable cancer and spends her nights up worrying about what's going to come in one of these nights she mentioned how even watching telly is a constant reminder of what she has n that brings an end to her good day.. I know it's to highlight the cause but what good is it wen it upsets my poor mother

The first time I saw the ad, it took my breath away. Both my parents died from cancer within a year of each other and the ad's wording is insensitive and cruel. We've already started the conversation on cancer; we don't have to be shocked into doing it!
