How about “I am squarely on the side of supporting kids with cancer, and generally do not support cancer itself”

Two things related to the above post I saw today on Facebook:

1. They probably should change the name of the cause to something else, so it doesn’t appear that the supporters are rooting for cancer, or that they enjoy that these kids are afflicted with the Big C.

2. The “Like” button adds a whole layer of complexity. What am I liking? The kids? The cancer? The schadenfreude inherent in liking kids who have it?
