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.
Living with metastatic breast cancer, Renee has learned to live in three-month cycles, planning around scans and finding ways to stay present with her family. Her relationship with Runway began in 2022, when her first show helped her understand that even with a Stage 4 diagnosis, there is still hope.
“Maybe I’m not strong enough to live through metastatic breast cancer,” Renee says. “But I am strong enough to live with it.”
Meredith Parkinson is an Ironman triathlete, which means she knows her body.
So when one of her children accidentally kicked her in the breast and the pain felt worse than normal, Meredith paid attention.
Lindsay, who is currently in treatment, wants people to know how much it matters to show up.
“Don’t be afraid to reach out,” she says. “Even saying you don’t know what to say, but you are there for them, means the world.”
Christina learned how much peace can come from having a plan and a team you trust.
“I didn’t start to feel better until I had a plan,” she says. “Once that was in place, I could breathe again.”
Dancing has always brought Brienne joy when she was so scared.
“It was one thing that could take my mind off the cancer,” Brienne says.
That is why Runway has deeper meaning for Brienne.
“The idea of dancing, even just for a moment, breaks you from the pain and fear,” she says. “That’s why I love that people dance down the runway, not walk.”
Stay tuned for something special at the 20th Anniversary show!
