There are +$5 billion invested in cancer research each year, this SENS charity has a budget of $4M a year. Basically $4M a year is not able to fund much at all.
I'm currently working on fixing that, both personally and via fundraising.
Cancer gets more attention because it's the thing written down under "cause of death" next to a loved one's name. But that's a proximate cause; the underlying cause is usually "aging".
