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.
When Karen was diagnosed with breast cancer on July 7, 2022, her life didn’t just change medically—it shifted entirely in how she saw the world around her.
“Getting a cancer diagnosis actually made me realize I was giving my life to the wrong things,” she shared. Before her diagnosis, Karen had spent years building a career she loved. But in the stillness that followed, she gained a clarity she hadn’t had before.
Lisa’s breast cancer journey is grounded in something simple, but powerful: resilience.
Diagnosed on October 5, 2025, her experience with cancer has shaped the way she sees herself and the world around her—but it has also strengthened her in ways she carries forward every day.
“It made me resilient,” she shared, “and empowered me to help others on their journey.”
Tonya’s diagnosis came in the middle of an ordinary moment—one that should have been filled with celebration.
“It was my son’s birthday,” she shared. “We were walking through the store looking for a football that he wanted.”
In an instant, everything changed.
“I was in complete shock. All I could think about were my three boys and how I would tell them.”
When Caileigh was waiting for her biopsy results, she already sensed what was coming. “The radiologist who performed the biopsy was gentle yet clear with me that it was giving malignancy,” she shared. “In the days waiting for results, I remember telling myself if this was happening, I needed to buckle up, lock in, and get on board.”
Caroline will never forget the day that changed her life forever. “August 21, 2024,” she shared. “It was two days after my mother’s birthday and two days before my husband’s 50th birthday.”
