I feel sorry for the &quot;person&quot; who was asking if this venture is a subsidized family holiday. It is pathetic that someone needs to build themselves up by putting others down.

They obviously  have not been reading Ryan's informative and descriptive blogs to find out that this trip has been anything but a &quot;holiday&quot; .  
&quot;Family&quot; - yes, &quot;holiday&quot; - no.  

I have been directly involved with the fund raising and can state for a fact:  ALL monies donated go DIRECTLY to the KCCF.  This &quot;person&quot; should try donating, they may be  surprised that it actually feels good to donate.  

It is easy to tell that this &quot;person&quot; hasn't had the fortune of knowing the Nobles and what an incredible bunch of people they are. They also don't know how hard this family has worked to raise money for the KCCF.  They could have gone on this &quot;holiday&quot; for their own gain but they chose to do the NOBLE thing and help others along the way.  (Sorry for the pun, it's early in the day.)

To the &quot;Person&quot;: give donating and helping others a try - you might find doing something positive is a nice change.

Sincerely,
Diana
