Just interested to know how many guys are donating, roughly speaking.

I know of a few guys who barely seemed to know existed, and even some who do know but are dubious. Personally, although like many/most guys my finances have taken a hit with all this, I am making regular donations. Amounts should probably be personal but I will say I try to make the equivalent of $1k per year. If about 20% of the forum could commit to that then after a couple of years we’d
have a nice sum.

Obviously if you can afford a lot more feel free to go for it. Guys who have had to quit jobs, have families etc shouldn’t feel bad about b not donating but if you’re more or less in the same place financially as you were before PFS then I don’t think giving $20 per month really cuts the mustard. The work we are funding could have a profound effect on altering our lives for the better in the long term.

If you are not donating on principal it would be interesting to know why, although out of general curiosity rather than any witch hunt.

I try to make $35 per month donation. Without the foundation we have no chance of finding a cure, plus with the results of the recently announced studies due to take place, I am convinced propecia will be off the market in the next 2 years.

I’ve instructed my family to send any donations upon my death to the foundation too.

Really appreciate everyone who has donated, although I’ll openly admit I never have or probably will. Mainly because a.) Propecia has left me unemployed and skint, and b.) I’m skeptical there will ever be enough funds for effective research.

Pharmaceutical companies are worth billions. The cost of investment and research that goes into developing cures is insurmountable for a small foundation of a very rare syndrome.

Look at Hairloss market. The financial incentive for developing a cure is absolutely colossal. Billions have been spent since the 70s and they’re not even close to solving it. The closest they ever came was Propecia.

What do you call the research at Harvard and Baylor?

These two studies alone will have cost the foundation thousands upon thousands of pounds to fund and without our help it would be very difficult to achieve these studies.

If the worst case scenario is that both these studies prove finasteride causes other scientifically proven results to show it damages our bodies more than we already know, I feel
This will at the very least, put enough pressure on the FDA to remove the drug from sale which would be a massive achievement.

Danny, I hope you’ve contacted the uk law firm taking on propecia cases, this could be of financial help
To you in the future with your unemployment?

I appreciate you perhaps don’t have the funds to donate though, I’m looking like losing my job over finasteride too!!!

For me, PFS foundation is the best thing that has ever happened so far.

I am going to post my monthly contribution to the PFS Foundation. I hope it inspires others…and don’t think I am rich…this is an uncomfortable amount of money, but PFS is a more uncomfortable fucking disease.

Fantastic amount Jorbie.

I cannot thank you enough for making such a generous monthly amount.

When I’m asked by family members what I want for Christmas this year, I’d really like to reply “a libido and a full night’s sleep”. However, I’m sure this will lead to other questions that I’m not prepared to answer. Therfore, I am asking certain relatives to give to the Foundation as their gift to me this year. If i happen to get cash, it’s going straight to PFS.org.

Just something to consider, since we all could use a little hope this holiday season.

Feliz!
