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.
Clewis Howe was diagnosed with Stage IIB, Grade 3 invasive ductal carcinoma in December 2020, at just 42 years old.
Today, Clewis is preparing to celebrate five years cancer-free.
“That’s 1,825 days of waking up,” she says. “Of watching sunrises I almost didn’t get to see. Of laughing louder, loving harder, and holding nothing back.”
Jani Raynor was diagnosed with Stage 3C breast cancer in 2022. At the time, she was newly separated and raising three young children.
“A life-threatening diagnosis doesn’t have to be the end of your story — it can be the spark that ignites your most powerful new beginning.”
Ashley was diagnosed with breast cancer in September 2023, when her son, Carter, was six years old. What followed surprised her.
Carter stepped up in ways she never expected—offering to make her snacks, respecting the days she needed rest, and watching as his mom moved through treatment with faith, strength, and honesty.
Melissa walks as a survivor and as a daughter honoring her mother’s memory, carrying with her a message she hopes others will remember:
“Never give up on yourself. Life is worth every second, no matter how much strife or struggles may lie ahead. There is always a silver lining and a place where hope grows.”
“My cancer journey has changed me in so many ways,” Maria shares. “It tested my faith, my strength, challenged my spirit and taught me the true meaning of resilience.”
For Maria, stepping onto the Runway stage is an opportunity to celebrate her survivorship while helping other families affected by breast cancer.
