Gordon Brown's son has CF
- Thread starter Ratatosk
- Start date
when we heard the news last night my husband and i gasped out loud , then i, like lou lou got exited (which i'm ashamed about) , purely on the publicity angle and also on the ( maybe) extra money that could possibly come to the nhs for cf. then almost straight away i felt very , very sad for the both of them . they are just like us when it comes to diagnoses of cf. no amount of money will take away their pain.
there must be over 2 million carriers of cf in the uk so it really shouldn't be a surprise that someday it would affect someone well known and unfortunately for the brown family it has affected them.<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0">

Maybe I'm naive, but surely if he were to suddenly start throwing a lot of money specifically at 'CF' research.......he'd get in trouble??? Smacks of nepotism really and I doubt he'd be able to get away with it, unfortunately!!</end quote></div>
The benefits wouldn't necessarily come from the UK goverment pocketbook, but rather from his verbal endoresment of charitable organizations who fund research. His political influence certainly will have a reach into the pockets of the wealthy, his friends and international acquaintances may donate more to 'the cause'.
