Toni Kovalcheck

 

Toni is a woman on a mission; it’s a simple one - live life everyday and stay as healthy as possible while she and her doctors at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center wage a war on her Stage 4 breast cancer.

Toni’s fight is not new to her; some 15 years ago, Toni was first diagnosed. She had beaten the cancer then. As with any breast cancer patient, getting this news is hard enough once in your lifetime.  But twice, as Toni says, “It will rock your world.”

Her cancer recently returned.

Toni and her husband, Mike, are childhood sweethearts.  They live everyday with hope and appreciation as well as a great deal of faith.

Being around Toni, you feel her positive energy.  She is a dynamite red-haired Polish woman whom you can sense will not go down without a fight.

We are fortunate and honored to have Toni in our film, helping us to better understand what breast cancer is and how it affects a female’s life everyday as well as her family.
