Not getting paid for your work is a form of abuse. None of us can solve all the world's ills and most of us focus on things that hit close to home. Think of all the foundations that have been created because some wealthy celebrity (or a relative of theirs) had a particular medical condition. Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research https://www.michaeljfox.org/ Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation https://www.christopherreeve.org/ |

> Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research
This is a tangent, but I remember a minor news item of Michael J. Fox appearing in an ad soliciting donations for Parkinson's research, Rush Limbaugh (maybe?) criticizing him for "exaggerating his symptoms" in the ad, and then Jon Stewart (definitely) lambasting the criticism on the Daily Show, something along the lines of "How DARE Michael J. Fox appear in an ad trying to fund research into the crippling disease that Michael J. Fox has?!?"
I've been trying to find a clip of that, if anyone knows where to look?
