Finkland-Strong

Meg Lamont is organizing this fundraiser on behalf of John Toland.

Donation protected

We decided to relaunch this fundraiser since so many kind folks want to help the Finkland family right now. If you are new to this story, here's an overview:

In 2018, at 36 years old, Katie Finklea was diagnosed with stage 3C ovarian cancer. It's been a long and bumpy road for the Finkland family, which comprises Katie, her husband John, and their daughters Cleo (9) and Imogene (5). Katie has endured countless rounds of chemotherapy, undergone major surgery, and participated in several clinical trials over the last five years. Through it all, Katie and John have faced these challenges with strength and optimism. Katie left her job in 2020 when it became impossible to balance work, motherhood, and the side effects of treatment. Though many of her treatments were initially successful, they ultimately stopped working... so the cancer has spread. Katie is currently at Brigham and Women's Hospital battling an infection, but hopes to resume chemotherapy in the coming weeks.
