Tori's Fight Against Breast Cancer

We are starting this fundraiser for Tori (McManus) Croft. Tori is a young mother to Zach (8) and Ellie (5) and is happily married to her rock, Andy. They live in paradise, the Cayman Islands. She and her family have been bravely battling her breast cancer for the past two years. This is not her first battle with cancer, she fought and beat Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma when we were 17 and like then, she is determined to beat this!

Tori found a lump in December 2015 and immediately went to a doctor. She received the “news” prior to Christmas and elected to have a double mastectomy, followed by 4 months of chemo. Unfortunately, late 2016, a spot appeared on her one breast and it was diagnosed as secondary breast cancer that spread to her skin. Fortunately, it seems to be contained and has not spread further, but there is still a journey ahead. Tori has handled her diagnosis with such grace and positivity.

Tori is active in the breast cancer community. She has been involved in innovative wellness programs , Cold Cap therapy and immunotherapy drugs. She was invited to be a speaker at the 2016 Cayman Island Breast Cancer Foundation discussing her experience with cold cap therapy.

She and her family have been managing the out of pocket costs including what insurance does not cover and travel, especially when her treatments were taking place in the states. We are now at the time, where Tori will need radiation to treat the secondary cancer. This treatment will take place in New Jersey as Cayman does not have a radiation facility. She will be away from her children and husband for an extended period of time. The time has come to ask others for help to ease this financial burden and allow her to focus on kicking cancer's ass. Let’s rally behind her and help her get through this.

Any funds collected that will not be needed for Tori’s treatments and expenses will be donated to breast cancer research.

Thank you for your support of Tori’s journey.
