I still don’t understand why there is no focus on the Dump, one of the main causes of cancer in Grand Cayman. No money in the world would cure cancer when nothing is being done to prevent it.
These people are bright enough to understand that, yet they participate in feel good accomplish nothing events. I am puzzled.
Cancer is a very lucrative business. Especially breast cancer.
