As I said,

you can't criticise that motivation at all, plainly

No qualms with their 'mission' or aim. Just that they do seem to talk a lot about themselves and what an awesome experience it's going to be. Good luck to them, honestly. I hope it all goes well and they raise as much money as possible.

Both of my siblings went to medical school and are doing amazing things and helping people every day. And my mom dropped a 30 year career to go to nursing school in her 50’s so that she could help others the way our nurses helped my family.

Don't get me wrong, what they're doing is all good, it just looks a bit vainglorious to me. Maybe I'm just a miserable old sod.
