What a terrible person.

"Woman Faked Cancer, Bilked Supporters for Thousands of Dollars"

She shaved her head, plucked her eyebrows, starved herself to look like a cancer patient and tattooed "Won't Quit" on her hands. Then she founded a bogus cancer research charity and collected thousands of dollars in contributions. Ashley Anne Kirilow, a 23-year-old Canadian, may have continued to scam people had her father not discovered her lies. "When I found out that she was taking people's money and it wasn't going to the University of Alberta as she had specified, it made me sick to my stomach," her father, Mike Kirilow, told "Good Morning America." When his daughter refused to come clean, he and a group of duped volunteers filed a police report.


Here is the http://www.aolhealth.com/2010/08/09/woman-faked-cancer-bilked-supporters-for-thousands-of-dollars/?icid=main|main|dl1|link3|http%3A%2F%2Fwww.aolhealth.com%2F2010%2F08%2F09%2Fwoman-faked-cancer-bilked-supporters-for-thousands-of-dollars%2F

This makes me want to cry for all the cancer survivors, people with cancer, or those who have lost friends/loved ones to cancer. Especially the ones that hear about his. :sad:

What a [censored]. Though I'm surprised she was able to do this without her father noticing for so long. At least he was the one who stopped it.

Puts my Canadian race to shame :(

Cancer is very serious and shouldn't be used to make thousands of dollars.

Well like the article said, she likely had some sort of mental disorder to have done something so... to have acted like such a [censored], basically. Still, that's pretty damn screwed up.

One of the very few benefits of having mental issue like that is that if you don't feel guilt or empathy, many many more ways to make money open up to you. This is one of those ways that normal people would never thing about, but people like her obviously have no problem with.

Edit:

Aaaah stupid me for looking in the comments of a news story again. Trolls on news websites don't even try, do they?

As angry as it makes everyone, this is a true illness, not cancer.

I wonder if this will end like the boy who cried wolf, part of me thinks that would be appropriate for what she has done.

What a disgusting person. It pains me to think about all of the cancer patients that could have used that money. I'm assuming she has to give the money back, right?

I find it that luck will get her back and she will get cancer later in her life.

Wow....that's absolutely awful :-(. I'm sorry, but mental sickness is just not an excuse. I'm Bi-polar, and I'd never consider doing something like that ><

I think we could swing Angelina Jolie if we tried. She'd probably be good for the part.

It's sad but true. People like that are the only people with neurological abnormalities that can actually excel in our dog-eat-dog society.

Like I've said before, there are no worse trolls than news site trolls.

During lunch at school, people would walk around with jars for donations to cancer research or whatever. My friends and I always wondered why nobody ever just wrote "Cancer Research Foundation" on a jar to score some cash. Then we realized that some probably had.

This is like the big-kid version of that.

Wow, that's all I can say. What a terrible human being. Hope she gets what is coming to her, to actually get cancer, and hopefully it's fatal. :rolleyes:
