Archers4Tobi
Archers4Tobi was established to honor the memory of Tobi Lauren Klonecki, a special wife, mother and friend who was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer at the young age of 38. With an initial Stage 4 diagnosis occurring in less than 10% of breast cancer patients and no family history, this diagnosis was both shocking and devastating. During her 4 years living with breast cancer, Tobi continued to live life to the fullest with her husband and two young boys. Some days were better than others but Tobi never felt sorry for the cards she was dealt. She learned how to thrive with this end stage disease- her new ‘normal’. Over the years, Tobi met many women with the same diagnosis but their lives were very different. We heard stories of how some of her ‘mets sisters’ couldn’t afford childcare during or after their chemo treatments. Others struggled to pay their mortgage or buy their life saving medications. Even during her worst days, Tobi thought of herself as ‘lucky’, for she had the family, friends, and financial means to deal with the daily struggles of breast cancer. Tobi would have wanted her legacy to be about helping those who didn’t have the means she had – to help bring out the normal in abnormal. Tobi would have been first in line to pay it forward. With your help, we can all pay it Forward!
