Is it wrong to ask a breast cancer survivor for money


Is it wrong to ask a breast cancer survivor for money?
I am walking in the weekend to end breast cancer in a couple weeks and one of my husband's aunts actually survived breast cancer. Is it wrong to ask her for a donation to the cause?

no it's not. She might actually be glad to help the cause and help other women survive
2 :
ABSOLUTELY NOT!! Most breast cancer survivors are MORE THAN HAPPY to be a supporter.
3 :
No, it's not wrong. Lots of cancer survivors give to cancer charities- or volunteer their time and effort towards spreading awareness, advocating for better policy, and raising funds for support and research. Your husband's aunt would probably really appreciate that you're doing this walk for breast cancer. She might even want to join you!
4 :
I would think she would be happy to help someone else.
5 :
Absolutely not. She above all people would probably be happy to contribute to the cause of research. Ask her. Good luck to you. Thank you for your wonderful contribution of yourself!

the donations go to working for a cure, right? well she shouldn't have a problem with it. she went through the tourment and stress, fought and won. she'd probably like to donate, i'm sure she has allready many times. my aunt is a 9 year survivor and i'm pretty sure she donates a good chunk to research for cures. maybe when asking you can explain that you don't want to offend her in any way but wanted to see if she was interested in helping women who aren't as fortunate as she was to survive the ordeal...something like that
