I think as a player I'd be ashamed being aware of the amount of money that has been raised so far knowing how much money they make. We can all smile and say we support cancer research and sell items,....but in the end the money spent on that research is nothing compared to what they spent on paying the biggest sports people.

You don't really know which players have donated they are under no obligation to tell the world if they did. For last year's 'Rally for Cancer' Andy Murray donated his prize money for winning Queens (£75,000) to the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity. It is also rumoured that he donated his prize money for winning Wimbledon - £1.6 million I think. He is one of players that we know did donate and since Bally was well liked among the players and her death was tragic i'm sure some players did donate to her Foundation.
Nick Kyrgios may not be in many people's good books these days but to him for donating £50 for each ace he serves for the rest of the year to the Elena Baltacha Foundation

Her story really messed me up. I remember first reading about her having cancer and there was also a picture of her on here and the image of a professional player looking like that just messed me up. She was such a good player and a great person.
