And then you start to think once this story is over and the spike in CF donations is done, what happens next year at this time when not much money is donated to CF since Shinearama at Carleton is done, and the year after and after. Sad.
I have a feeling many dont understand what Shinerama is here.

It nothing but students getting together and going out into the streets and shining shoes for donations. That is done country wide on the same day by just about every seconday education existing. Therefore its really not a huge deal if Carleton was to opt out......though every little bit helps. Its more that gals complete misunderstanding about what this disease is all about and whom it effects.

The treatment little children have to endure EVERY MORNING just to try and live a semblance of a normal life is heart-wrenching. Who give a flying fata that it may only inflict itself on caucasians...that has NO bearing on the charity itself. Stupid and inept for them to even vote on it that way.

Here is a video on what a kid goes through...every single day.
