Makes a great Father's Day gift :D

[Clue17]

2 things you cannot, in my opinion resist as a gift: Socks & Underwear :D

[flyer12]

How are they determining who the 'first 300, 000 customers' are? Are the underwear distributed to all locations and the salespeople have to check a national database to determine what number you are at?

I imagine they'll split the 300,000 free pairs across all of their stores (either evenly or by how busy each store is).

[copperprincess]

Thanks for the post!

[frugal_fanboy]

Thanked

[ricedion]

It also says Sat or Sun, so if they run out of stock on Sat, then u r out of luck if u go on Sun?

[vsaint]

So what, maybe 500 per store?

[shop ahoy]

As per Wiki, they have 378 stores, which averages out to 794 per store. More likely 300 - 1200 per depending on store volume.

All things considered, that's a lot per store for "Free Underwear"

I can't really see many stores running out fast (if at all), but you never know.

[Fantaz]

Nice! Marked it in my daily. Thanks

[DVDManiac]

I'm going to bring my camera and document how many guys line up again and again after I get my freebie.

I'm one of those 46% with issues about sweat especially after a workout or a rather hotter than usual day and I'm wearing dress pants.

[Goonish]

Sweet. In for a pair. Never too many pairs of underwear.

[Pottertons]

Very nice find. Can't have enough of those.

[harryt]

did anyone get any? I would think they are sold out by now LOL

it would be lame to call and ask

Caller: Hi.. ummm do you still have any free underwear left?

LOL

[michpetea]

Next Weekend Harry :D

[Dancing Dancer]

did anyone get any? I would think they are sold out by now LOL

LOL

Good thing you didn't call, it's next weekend so calm down and wait for another week;)

[cummybear]

My friend told me someone from one of the stores said a minimum purchase of $50 is required for a free pair of underwear, anyone know for sure?

[Clue17]

I asked about the promotion also & the cashier told me about a purchase is required or some where along those lines..

Ya dude its next weekend.

By the way, thanks OP and thanked.

+1 Sometimes you gotta read the fine print.

Hopefully the Richmond Hill store has no lineup, but who knows given the demographic of Richmond Hill :razz:

[BooR4dL3y]

Yeah, could you imagine if they were giving them away with no purchase necessary!?! I mean, we should at least let all the homeless people know so they can get first shot. They probably need new underwear more than us.

[redflagdealsuser1]

Anyone know? Tks.

[vsaint]

If you do need to buy something, just get earplugs.

[nickscott]

I'm not normally a 'righteous' person, but if you're giving away 300,000 pairs of underwear I sure hope most of them are going to homeless men and those in need.

I certainly don't need any free underwear.

[deadice]

This is not a charity promotion, they are doing this in the hopes you buy more underwear from them. I also would not expect any company to give $10 pairs of underwear for free to homeless people. This. Accomplishes the same advertising objective with many people likely coming back to buy more. Homeless people probably not buying more...

I will be there to get my free pair.

[IDStorms]

Can anyone confirm if no purchase necessary?

No purchase needed!

"Hello IDStorms,

You can visit any of our stores, including L'Equipeur in Quebec, and ask for your free pair. No purchase required."

[djemzine]

They could get a lot more value out of the positive media coverage that would come from a large and generous donation to those less fortunate. Homeless people need underwear too you know, on an ongoing basis, so why wouldn't they support those helping them with future purchases? Especially when they get back on their feet, as, with a little assistance, they hopefully will.

You hold onto your free pair for when your time of need inevitably comes...

[Tornado F2]

If you do need to buy something, just get earplugs.

Buy a 2nd pair and donate them to a charity helping those in need.

[IDStorms]

Is this freebie only in Ontario or across Canada?...

All of Canada. :)

[deadice]

so why wouldn't they support those helping them with future purchases?

i highly doubt homeless people are going to drop $10 for a pair of underwear because they like how it feels. they either get them donated, or they steal them or buy them from the dollar store. if it all.... it is much more likely that someone with a job and disposable income would return to Mark's to buy more pairs.

i understand what you are saying about goodwill, but from a business perspective, they are getting more bang from their advertising buck this way.

and thanks, i will enjoy my free pair.

[ricedion]

Yeah, could you imagine if they were giving them away with no purchase necessary!?! I mean, we should at least let all the homeless people know so they can get first shot. They probably need new underwear more than us.

maybe homeless ppl don't wear underwear :)

[Thello]

Is there a difference between Mark's and Mark's Work Warehouse?

[canadude1122]

Is there a difference between Mark's and Mark's Work Warehouse?

Mark's Work Warehouse is now going under the name of MARKS. Same place. They are just trying to get away from the just "work clothes" stigma that comes with the old name. We shall see if it works for them. I for one never shop there.

[roblombardi]

are you a troll, or a member of the sisters of charity? :-0

[DaVibe]

Just saw the commercial on HGTV ... I'm going to go.

Going to be weird if you're there first thing, a bunch of guys in a store ... no one else buying anything lol

[WildWolf]

I won't bother to line up. I need my sleep ! I may buy a pair !

[zoro69]

They also have buy $75 in GC, get a $15 certificate (valid for a few months). So if you are there, and planning to shop there in the future, thats a no brainer.

[BestOffer]

then use the GCs towards purchases on June 14 (take an extra 20% off 5pm until closing), one day only :lol:

[bug]

Two stores in my area :)

[IDStorms]

Well, since I have to go into work tomorrow, I guess I'm stopping in for a free pair.

I'm driving right past one of their stores, so it wouldn't be right to let this one go.

If I see any line up though, I'm outta there!

[Mrbj]

Picked up a pair - Calgary, 8th avenue. A girl took 4 packs and was talking on the phone to her girlfriend...saying "it says on the pack that it comes with moisture management tech....I said...yeah it will come in handy, wont get your dried....he was like.."lol, i'm getting those for myself, even they are mens"

They're already giving them away?

[granite_69]

How....?

Last time I checked there isn't a Mark's downtown on 8th avenue (aka Stephen avenue)

[Pratzy]

Called in to a few Mark's stores in the GTA. Apparently it's started already, although one person later said 'My manager said it starts tomorrow, sorry'
YMMV, I'm heading into my local Mark's store right now, I called in and the guy confirmed I could get one (Yes I said, "Hi, Are you giving out free underwear today ?":lol:)

Apparently these are worth $19.99 at regular price. Hmm...to hoard or not to hoard ? :cheesygri
Kidding...kidding.

[CheeseDie]

I just soiled myself.... need a clean pair...

[rice4hof]

How....?

Last time I checked there isn't a Mark's downtown on 8th avenue (aka Stephen avenue)

I got one too. People wearing Mark's tshirts were handing them out on the street, out of boxes.

CRAP, forget I said anything. I walk into the store and the employee rebuffs me by saying that he didn't know, and it starts tomorrow. >:(

[nihulen]

got one near location while doing grocery, it was for tomorrow, but 30 min before close i ask so he give me one

[thedealhunter2000]

Just in time for travelling season or for hiking. Been looking for some high speed undies but not wanting to drop c note on a UnderArmor top and bottom set. >:(

What sizes are avaliable? What time do the stores open in the GTA?

[mulock]

Just picked up a pair in Dartmouth NS. Came home to see when the other Marks stores open up.....will hit a few others while I run errands early this morning. If I am lucky, might be able to score 5-6 pairs.

[Fantaz]

Post a pic? Are these Hanes or Stanfield's?

[roblombardi]

There's a pic on the link of the OP

any line ups?

[smoraes]

no lineups at the sherway gardens area etobicoke or mississauga dundas st location and cashier handing them out but then i wasted lots of gas getting caught behind the %#$#%# cyclists for the ride to conquer cancer i guess stretching far and wide and tying up major/minor streets depending on the route - they should be on a honda indy type closed street course doing laps instead of wasting our roads that legitimate license paying people pay to use - just my two cents for these waste of money in the name of charity corporations

[mulock]

Roughly 5-6 people ahead of me at each location. Managed to get 6x pairs. That's it....no more underwear buying for a year. I also just won 6x pairs recently online.

[99isd99]

10 people in line had tons of them.

[domo325]

Post a pic? Are these Hanes or Stanfield's?

Denver Hayes.

I picked up 3 pairs this morning. NO LINEUPS. I don't think many people know about this freebie.

How much do these things retail anyway?

[sedani]

managed to get 4 at the first location no1 was guarding than 2 at two following locations for a grand total of 8

[domo325]

Heartland? lol. The baskets full of these things were unguarded, but all sizes were mixed. I saw a ton of SMALL sizes, not many LARGES left.

[sedani]

nah heartland had a girl handing them out when i got there at 950ish, the one on Argentia road had a girl blocking them but i was there at 930 and the rush of like 10 people overwhelmed her.. the guy at dundas though was being an ***** about it like it was coming out of his paycheque i heard him tell a girl why do people only come for free items not even look around and buy something from the store..

[bnardd]

Thanks again OP! Picked up 1 from 2 separate locations!

[CheeseDie]

I usually buy my boxer undies frim dollarama but it has been many moons since they stocked them...

[uwaterloo2010]

Got 1 at the Eaton Centre around 11am, there were alot behind the counter where the girl was handing out. I don't think people know about this freebie, no line up at all.
PS didn't get shot, all in all good day.

[zack99]

Haha, Mark's should have told their employees to open the store on time when there is a promotion on. I waited at the Calgary Brentwood mall location for 1/2 half hour waiting for them to open. There was a line-up of 20 people at door, it was hilarious. In the end I gave up, I normally wouldn't have wait that long to begin with but I actually needed to BUY something from the store.

refer to my avatar, lol

[thedealhunter2000]

Any updates for the Leslie & Sheppard and Hwy 7 & Hightech Road locations? How much stock and people lined up? Thanks.

[cujo]

Got 2 pairs at south edmonton common, they were at the cashier's/clerk's. Immediately got a pair, shopped around, then got a 2nd pair from a diff cashier when I bought a shirt. They look so small, they're the trunk brief and I'd recommend upsizing but that's standard for underwear. Didn't seem like anyone knew about the promo either as they had alot left and I got there an hour after they opened.

[Fantaz]

I went to a couple different stores and they have tons.... looks like there will really be enough at most places to last the whole weekend.

[djemzine]

Any updates for the Leslie & Sheppard and Hwy 7 & Hightech Road locations? How much stock and people lined up? Thanks.

+1 would like to know of Hwy7 and Hightech location.

[BooR4dL3y]

maybe homeless ppl don't wear underwear :)

You might be right. I saw a guy pushing a shopping cart just as I was coming out of the Mark's parking lot. I told him there was free underwear inside, thinking I was helping out a fellow man. He told me he didn't care. I went my way.

[chinese zzz]

Because they are handing out Men's underwear they felt :o

[djemzine]

I can confirm that hoarders have already wiped out the Elgin Mills and Leslie location. However Aurora has in stock apparently from what the lady who picked up the phone said.

Gonna swing by there when I am on my way to HD and Rona.

[lazo696]

i got 12 pairs from the store on the danforth
and i got to say they sure can hold the
moisture

[platinumtiger19]

Does anyone know if they will be restocking for tomorrow?

[uwaterloo2010]

Because they are handing out Men's underwear they felt :o

Haha yeah that true, I felt awkward asking them for it. Imagine if dudes were handing out free bras and panties

[bnardd]

i got 12 pairs from the store on the danforth

hoarder alert :idea:

[djemzine]

+1

[sedani]

lol im one too i cant lie, hoarders got to hoard!

[Helios]

I managed to get one. Cashier was the only one there and was sure to only hand out one per person. May go back tomorrow. Calgary 130th SE location.

[thedealhunter2000]

i got 12 pairs from the store on the danforth
and i got to say they sure can hold the

Oh come on WTF people. I've been reading a few people coming out with like 4+ pairs and now 12? Be fair to the other people. It's supposed to be 1 per person. I mean if you get another pair at another location then ok but come on.

Ok, going to give some slack here as the poster did not say if they bought any extra pairs to add up to the 12 but if it was a freebie 12.......:mad:

Seriously, I sometimes think there should be some ID check and a computer to cross check all locations at any promo from any store now to keep people from doing that.

[thedealhunter2000]

Mark's also commissioned a national survey to find out whether men even care about what kind of underwear they wear - and the results turned up some surprising results.

Nearly half of all men surveyed (46%) admitted that they have had issues with underwear and sweat (specifically that they are not satisfied with the way their underwear keeps them dry) - something Mark's new Denver Hayes with dri-Wear underwear will address
Boxer-briefs are the most-favoured men's underwear with 37% of Canadian men choosing the hybrid-underwear model
More than 1/3 of all men (36%) admit to wearing LESS than 7 pairs of underwear per week
Most men prefer to buy their own underwear (86%), although 11% admitted to letting their wives buy underwear for them and 3% said 'mom' still does their shopping


:eek::razz:

[thedealhunter2000]

Hey are these compression fit undies or like the regular fitted body hugging style? I'm used to the Fruit of the Loom style briefs and wondering how they fit.

Is it a true sizing on those Mark's undies? I take a M would I need to go +/- 1 size?

Thanks. I don't think they would allow trying out the stuff in the store due to the nature of the product.


EDIT:

Regular fit. -NOT- compression

[thedealhunter2000]

Does anyone know if they will be restocking for tomorrow?

According to the McCowan/Shep location they said no restocking but the CSR was not completely sure. Will need a few more people to chime in on this.

EDIT:

Seems like the girl I was talking to has someone chatting in the background to her about the promo. Some giggling over all the guys coming in. I guess it was their entertainment of the day seeing the guys come in and asking and checking out all the guys. ROTFL.

[ilapastel]

lol felt awkward getting these, just went in and out. not really worth the hassle its jus tight underwear unless ure already in the area

[ultimatum]

All "l'équipeur" store I visited had many left. No restocking but a few box left. It was not that publicised over here.

Pants size 36-38 might want to consider XL the cashier said that xl was for more than 38 pants size but I wear 38 and went for the xl anyway and they still feel small

[roblombardi]

hoarder alert

Picked up 6 pairs this morning in London. Took the wife with me and we grabbed 2 pairs at three different locations. They are great quality, there was no line ups and they had lots.:D

[roblombardi]

hoarder alert >:(


Roughly 5-6 people ahead of me at each location. Managed to get 6x pairs. That's it....no more underwear buying for a year. I also just won 6x pairs recently online.

[Shazam]

Thanks OP!
went to 3 diff Van locations, each store had a sign at entrance advertising "Free Underwear.
Every store had about 4 or 5 people in line ahead of me with more people coming in just for underwear when I was leaving.
You need to ask for it at the cashier and I could tell that all the tellers were doing was handing out underwear! :D
Limit of 1 per person, I doubt they will have any of the common sizes left by tomorrow. (Med was most commonly requested, next came large)
According to one store:
Med 36-38 waist
Large 38-40
(one girl ahead of me actually came back to exchange her large size for a medium!)

[domo325]

Ugh, agreed.
I was stuck at an intersection for atleast 20mins. Great cause, but burned a ton of gas just for a pair of underwear. lol.

im a size 32 and i got a large but it feels too tight for me :confused:. Wonder how big xl is

[jmalyon2]

im a size 32 and i got a large but it feels too tight for me :confused:. Wonder how big xl is

im a 36, and the large is probably too small for me.

the wife loves the way it looks though. lol

[djemzine]

Ended up getting two at the Aurora location. They had lots around 2PM. Not sure if they do now. My dad got one and I got one.

Thanks again OP.

See, I am not a hoarder :D

[bnardd]

im a size 32 and i got a large but it feels too tight for me :confused:. Wonder how big xl is

They asked me my waist size and I said 32..and they gave me a small! :S
But you are saying even a size L is too small for 32?

[uwaterloo2010]

They asked me my waist size and I said 32..and they gave me a small! :S
But you are saying even a size L is too small for 32?

The waist is ok but the length of the shorts is my issue. Its rides up in the inner thighs and seems too tight for me. Maybe it needs to be worn in for a few days or so. This is my first time with trunk briefs.

[Tornado F2]

Ugh, agreed.
I was stuck at an intersection for atleast 20mins. Great cause, but burned a ton of gas just for a pair of underwear. lol.

I'm not wasting my time and gas chasing men's underwear. ;) I stayed home and watched the Euro 2012 football.

[uwaterloo2010]

They are all out at the Eaton Centre. Probably given to customers with their purchases with out them asking.:(

Would you be prepared to contribute generously to a charity if they promised NOT to ride their bicycles?

Thought not.

Inconvenient or not, they are trying to help. You may be grateful for their efforts someday. Cancer seems to be becoming more and more common and affecting ever more people.

[domo325]

They asked me my waist size and I said 32..and they gave me a small! :S
But you are saying even a size L is too small for 32?

lol. I'm a size 32 and I got a Medium. It feels a tad tight but still comfortable to wear.

[Dancing Dancer]

I got one pair for hubby, and realized it's only 60% cotton. I personaly prefer cotton underwear, all of my own are at least 95% cotton. Guess at least it can go to Goodwill.

[IDStorms]

They asked me my waist size and I said 32..and they gave me a small! :S
But you are saying even a size L is too small for 32?

I stopped in this afternoon and nobody was there.

Their only choices were small or medium.

Given the chance, I probably would have asked for a large, but took the medium since I'm only a 33-34 anyways.

She said that the medium is 34-36, so I'm assuming the small is 32-34, and the large 36-38

Aren't these are supposed to be tight(ish), which would explain why the large seemed small to the other poster.

I never asked, but she gave me 2 pairs anyways... Did they deliberately put the girls on cash today. ;)

[BooR4dL3y]

There was a line up of about 20 people at the cashier. Then some smart worker noticed the big line up and said, "If you're here for the underwear come over to this side of the counter and I will help you." Everyone, but two people in the line went over to get their underwear.

[appleb]

They are all out at the Eaton Centre. Probably given to customers with their purchases with out them asking.:(

I was there around 1pm and it looked like they still had lots left at that time.

[MaximDude]

Wow so much interest in free underwear......:confused:

Is it any good at least to be worth all the trouble?

[deadice]

I'd say its worth it. They retail is $20 that is grossly overpriced. They are worth maybe $5-7 each.

At least there were still 2 people actually buying something! :-0

[dlkbc1]

I went at 10:30 am to the Vancouver store and there was no line up. I only noticed one other person ask for the free underwear the whole time I was there (15 minutes).

I've lived a few blocks away from this store for years and had never gone in the store. For the price of a pair of underwear, it got me in the store and now I know that they have way more than just work clothes and will consider buying there another time.

[megamangaea]

Is this the underwear with UVA/UVB protection?

I heard something like 1 in 5 men are affected by cancer so look around you. If you see 5 guys around likely one is affected. :(

I see the cyclist thing both ways. I drive and I also ride as much as I can by choice then driving. It is a great cause and also keeping fit as well.

I never asked, but she gave me 2 pairs anyways... Did they deliberately put the girls on cash today. ;)


Yah I think it's so the girls can get a giggle or check out some hunky or dorky guys. :cheesygri:D Hehe... anyways the undies are compression fit. So they are supposed to be tight like 'second skin' but stretchy and not like tight without expansion.

If you're a size M regular fit with Fruit of the Looms a size L in the Mark's undies are supposed to fit like FoL's M size. However if you want the second skin feel for great wicking effect then get the size you normally wear. At least that is how the CSR girl explained it to me at Mark's. I for one am going to give my pair a try and if feels good I'm likely going to buy another or a few more in time when I have more money for my EDC bag.

Is this the underwear with UVA/UVB protection?

I take mine off when I tan... I hate tan lines!

Is this the underwear with UVA/UVB protection?

Only one way to find out. Buy a big bottle of sunscreen and put that on all of your body and walk around all day in the sun in only your boxer briefs and find out at the end of the day. :lol:

[megamangaea]

Well is it? It should say on the packaging.

[thedealhunter2000]

I'd say its worth it. They retail is $20 that is grossly overpriced. They are worth maybe $5-7 each.

>__<;; Expensive but may be worth it if it was durable to last a few years for each pair under heavy use. I'd pay for that as it could keep the weight and bulk down in my travel bag.

HAHAHAHHA $20...when Dollarama carried those boxers for $1 and those fake hanes jockies I stocked up.. lucky I did because for some reason they stopped even though they sold out constantly

$1 %100 cotton vs $20 some blend.... easy choice...

[WildWolf]

There has got to be only a few good things at Dollerama. Most of it is crap, crap and more crap. I bought this stupid keyboard vacuum for $2, it didn't even suck. I should have bought two drinks instead, seems like that is all the store is good for.

Did they shrink when you washed them?

[kc765]

Got a couple yesterday. They are actually quite nice. Was planning to buy the shirt but they didn't have any in stock.

[WildWolf]

Well as someone posted roughly 350 per store and it's now Sunday, most stores if not all are probably sold out.

[rocyn]

Both stores in Moncton NB had some available this afternoon.

[xerox2k2]

went yesterday to Fredericton,NB store they had lots behind the checkout. there were no mention of it in this weeks flyer and there were no signs up at all...so thanks RedFlagDeals for letting me know.

5 women were leaving the store with them as i was entering,these weren't the mom looking type either.i guess there's no reason why women can't wear them there's no fly

[xerox2k2]

At least there were still 2 people actually buying something! :-0

have you ever actually bought anything in marks? their stuff is extremely over priced; $69.99 for long johns made in Bangladesh for like $2

[cujo]

[thedealhunter2000]

Are you talking reg price there or sale price? BTW is Mark's sale price or clearance prices worthit? :?:

[smoraes]

dream on like stuff made in bangladesh, china, india, and other places costs cents or less like apple made stuff in slave labour countries or extremely minimum wage countries but that is how capitalism and shareholder controlled companies work to pay salaries and trade shares on the market - good for shareholders and c level management but the consumer is screwed just like the grocery store model like loblaws amd bell/rogers; that is what the students in montreal are ultimately fighting for although a little disjointed; just like g8/g20 as the new generations are pissed off with economic models of gov't that are politics/backroom dealing without wikileaks and bribery/kickbacks driven unless you are the kids of the multimillionaires/billionaires that want to be trillionaires and even more greedy using nickel and diming and business intelligence/social media/emotional quotient/big data analytics up the yinyang to drive profits through the roof


on topic the underwear is slightly like jockey and the jockey sports model is 80% poly and 20 cotton sort of like the good golf shirts because of moisture wicking which cotton is not designed for on it's own but more natural

The next generation is going to receive the bills from the previous generations overspending. The generous pensions given to public servants and employees of a few large companies are a thing of the past. I am telling everyone that is a retired teacher, city worker that the government will be cutting some of the those benefits in the future (already happening in the U.S.). I know people that started teaching at 20 retired at 50 and will receive a pension indexed to inflation for 40 years. We cannot afford it anymore. In Quebec students paid the lowest tuitions in North America. Quebec with a struggling economy/high debt cannot afford it. It will take a decade for countries/people to pay down debt and wring out the excesses of the past. The boom days with high economic growth are over for now. Sorry but cannot be very positive. People will need to spend less and save more.

P.S. love the underwear.

Many stores even still had stock of every size before closing.

[deadice]

in my area XL was gone saturday afternoon. Larges were gone sunday around noon. just small and medium left...

[Jordan866]

Darn, looks like I just missed out on a free pair of underwear, lol.

[ricedion]

I was going to St Catherine/Niagara Falls region on the weekend. Went to two stores there, and I had to listen to the cashier to read/educate me about the new products before getting a free pair. They weren't that busy at the time I went.

[dealiah]

no lineups at the sherway gardens area etobicoke or mississauga dundas st location and cashier handing them out but then i wasted lots of gas getting caught behind the %#$#%# cyclists for the ride to conquer cancer i guess stretching far and wide and tying up major/minor streets depending on the route - they should be on a honda indy type closed street course doing laps instead of wasting our roads that legitimate license paying people pay to use - just my two cents for these waste of money in the name of charity corporations

Really??? I am so offended by this I am signing in at work (which I am not meant to be doing).

You find that "these (I won't bother with your expletives) people" are offending your right to free underwear? That these cyclists are bothersome and have unending nerve to cause you to have to wait a massive 20 minutes out of your entire life for your free underwear? That the Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto, one of the biggest CANCER research facilities on the planet, is merely a "charity corporation" and not deserving of fundraising? While I may have issue as well with how many of the Charities are run these days, "these (I won't bother with your expletives) people" raised a whopping and awesome 18 MILLION DOLLARS on their bikes for CANCER RESEARCH - while you were sitting on your *ss in your car on your way to get free underwear instead of doing something good for the world like they were.

If no one raises money for CANCER RESEARCH then how do you suppose a CURE will be found in our lifetimes?!? My uncle practiced riding his bike 3 hrs every day in every kind of weather so as to be able to complete the monumental challenge of this ride - him and hundreds of thousands of other people. If this was such a massive waste of time, why did they all make the commitment? It's because it is guaranteed that someone in your family will get cancer, if not many someone's in your family, at some point in your lifetime - (though I truly wish this on no one, it is what it is) - and all you will want is for them to be CURED. If funds don't get raised, treatment options do not become available; new research won't find better options that get stronger results; and more people won't SURVIVE the destruction that Cancer brings.

While underwear is great, eradicating Cancer in our lifetime is WAY more important.
