15. SKG invited this by conflating healthcare and politics.

SKG invited this by conflating healthcare and politics. No one would have batted an eye last year if someone of political import decided to speak at an SKG event, or bailed on an invitation.

SKG has now advertised itself as a partisan political special interest group, rather than an apolitical special interest funding cancer research.

I can only hope that other health-oriented charities take this lesson to heart.
