Meet Tobi

The Forward4Tobi Foundation was established in 2013 to honor the memory of Tobi Lauren Klonecki, a wife, mother, and friend who was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer at just 38 years old. With no family history and an initial Stage 4 diagnosis—something that occurs in fewer than 10% of cases—the news was both shocking and devastating.

During her four years living with breast cancer, Tobi continued to live life to the fullest with her husband and two young boys. Through her journey, she met many women facing the same diagnosis but very different circumstances—some struggling to afford childcare during treatment, pay their mortgage, or purchase lifesaving medications.

Even on her toughest days, Tobi considered herself fortunate to have the support of family, friends, and financial stability. The Forward4Tobi Foundation carries on her legacy by helping breast cancer patients who are facing financial hardship so they can focus on what matters most—fighting their disease and living their lives.

With your help, we can continue to pay it Forward4Tobi.
