It does not support research, and has never stated that it does. It does provide support and offer resources (including financial assistance) to cancer victims. The guy is a total skunk, but the foundation does a lot of good. Hey, Jerry Lewis isn't the nicest guy in the world, either. In fact, most people think he's an absolute a-hole, but MDA is a worthy organization. It's just unfortunate that decent organizations have asshats as their public face.
