We Tell Your Story
Part of Runway's mission is to honor the legacies and stories of those who have been impacted by breast cancer. Our blog page is dedicated to helping us share those stories.
Learn more about the importance and impact of our blog by watching the following video.
Erica explains her reason for walking the Runway on behalf of her mother.
“It’s my way of honoring her after 10 years.”
Sharon Tarby never thought of herself as strong until she had no choice.
In 1999, she found a lump in her right breast over Memorial Day weekend. Soon after, Sharon learned she not only had breast cancer, but was also pregnant.
Now, more than 25 years later, Sharon’s boys are grown, and she recently became a grandmother.
Liz Mover was diagnosed with breast cancer in February 2018, at age 34.
As an ICU nurse, Liz understood the weight of devastating medical diagnoses. But she never expected to become the patient.
Along the way, Liz learned that asking for help is not a weakness, but a necessary part of moving forward.
Now, having experienced that journey herself, she moves forward as a model mentor—offering the same support and care that helped carry her through.
Kaleigh Sabourin is walking in memory of her mother, who passed away from triple negative breast cancer eight years ago.
After losing her mom, Kaleigh learned that even though neither she nor her mother carried a known gene mutation, her family history placed her at high risk. For Kaleigh, choosing a preventative double mastectomy felt like one thing she could do to protect her future and be here for her children.
“With the kids, I felt like it was one thing I could do,” Kaleigh says.
Jenna Auber is almost 14 years out from her breast cancer diagnosis.
At 36, while breastfeeding her youngest son, Jenna pushed forward with early screening. Months later, she was diagnosed with breast cancer on her birthday, with her almost two-year-old sitting on her lap.
“I feel like I’m a poster child for genetic testing and early screening,” Jenna says.
Now, years later, Jenna carries both gratitude and grief.
