I would say something like, "I've had someone close to me be diagnosed with breast cancer so I'm passionate about your philanthropy". If they ask more specific questions, you could elaborate. This is just because people often have a hard time knowing how to respond to someone's loss, and the conversation could be become very difficult for both of you if the active doesn't know what to say.

I'm so sorry for your loss.
