Not all afflictions are curable. If your child had an incurable affliction wouldn't you work hard to bring attention to it, raise money?

Wouldn't you spend a lot of time trying to get people interested  and if you were a celebrity use that celebrity to call attention to it?

Or would you hide it? Remain silent about it? Say nothing at all and lose the opportunity your celebrity might have had to do some good?

Incurable today might be cured tomorrow. How do you know unless you keep trying?
