I think Montel has done great things for MS awareness and his charity, is it still in operation?, had raised a lot of money for MS research.

Maybe he is just like so many of us that are trying to ensure a secure financial future despite, or because of, this miserable disease. I don't fault him for that or expect him to feel obligated to help others at every juncture just because he has been financially successful in his life.

I give three times as much money to animal charities as I do to MS charities. Because

#1 people have had more of an opportunity to help themselves and their families where as animals are helpess

and

#2 I want my MS money to got strictly to research and the NMSS doesn't focus on research as much as I would like.
