Question: what would you do with the money if you won would you use it to help find cures for cancer or to treat other people with illnesses????

I would use the money to raise awareness of research in less funded area’s of research. I think cancer is very well funded (in fact PhD student often students doing cancer research get paid a bit more money) as it is something in the public eye. Also as cancers are more prevalent in richer countries, companies invest time researching it because the country could afford to pay more money for arising cure.

In a poorer country you are more likely to die from other disease or illness – as cancer occurrence is related to an ageing population.
