Breast Cancer in the Asian Community

My Doan joined the Runway community in 2010.

Since then, she has watched it grow into something far bigger than she could have imagined.

For My, Runway has always felt like more than an event. It is a family, a reunion, and a place where she can celebrate her own survivorship while honoring her sister Lynne, who is living with metastatic breast cancer.

“I’m just so proud to be a part of the organization,” she says.

Diagnosed during COVID, with one child in preschool and another in elementary school, Veronica moved through treatment with the help of doctors, friends, mothers’ groups, social workers, and a community that showed up with meals, rides, advice, and care.

“In many ways, it’s a triumph of everyone,” she says. “The fact that I’m here and I can celebrate it.”
