re: Who comes up with these lame challenges?

The videos are annoying, but donations are way up. Just wish people would look into how to donate money or time locally as the trickle down from the large organizations to the families is very minimal. Funding for research is great but most of these people don't have time to wait on research. They have immediate needs that could be met on the local level. Also, just really sick of attention whores. Is it not possible to donate when challenged without the videos?
