Meet the Models: Carly Fauth

By Olivia Achtmeyer Boger | September 1, 2025

Carly is the host of the podcast Chemo Coffee Talk, but she’s about to add “Runway Model” to her list of credentials—and with a story as powerful as hers, we couldn’t be more honored to have her join us.
In February 2024, just ten months after finally turning her fitness side hustle into a full-time business, Carly was in the shower when she felt something off.

Meet the Models: Erin McCarthy

By Olivia Achtmeyer Boger | August 27, 2025

For Erin, her mom wasn’t just a parent—she was her best friend, her travel buddy, her confidante, and her biggest cheerleader. Now, Erin is walking the Runway in her honor, bringing the same joy, sparkle, and energy her mom brought into every room.

Meet the Models: Laura Bosse

By Olivia Achtmeyer Boger | August 25, 2025

When Laura was first diagnosed with DCIS (Ductal Carcinoma in Situ) in 2021, she felt fortunate to have caught it early. Taking an aggressive approach, she opted for a bilateral mastectomy, believing it would eliminate the cancer for good. But two years later, in 2023, her world shifted in a devastating direction: she was diagnosed with Stage IV metastatic breast cancer.

Meet the Models: Amy Collette

By Olivia Achtmeyer Boger | August 23, 2025

Twelve years after her breast cancer diagnosis, Amy has a powerful perspective that only time and experience can provide. She lives with gratitude, boldness, and a deep appreciation for the small and sacred acts of support that carried her through the darkest days—and she’s walking this year to honor all of it.

Meet the Models: Jillian Black

By Olivia Achtmeyer Boger | August 18, 2025

I am not the same person. But the new person I am – is stronger. The person I am now is more focused. More aware. I love more deeply and openly. I invest heavily in the people who I love, and who love me – and tune out everything else. My kids see my strength, I hope – and I try to help them see their own strength, power and resiliency, too. Cancer takes a lot. But somehow, through all of it, I somehow gained, as well.
