Meet the Models: Lindsay McGloughlin

By Caroline O'Donnell | August 29, 2016

Lindsay McGloughlin, Survivor first diagnosed in 2013 I am so thrilled to be walking with Runway for Recovery for its spectacular 10th year! Runway has given me a reason to celebrate. I was diagnosed with cancer at age 28 and my son Charlie was only 18 months old. I thought my life was crumbling beneath me. Charlie was my strength, he kept me smiling and gave me something to fight for. He will never truly know how much he helped throughout my battle. After I was done with treatment and surgeries and the dust began to settle I was still…

Meet the Models: Jenny Clayton

By Caroline O'Donnell | August 29, 2016

Jenny Clayton, Walking in memory of her mother, Jean Lubrano (1998)  My mom died almost 18 years ago, when I was 38 and my daughter was 7.   I remember thinking that Ellie, who’s walking with me, is never going to know her amazing grandmother the way she should have. Ellie was missing something so special, getting to know her grandmother is something I couldn’t replace. My 3 sisters and I have tried to fill those gaps for all of the kids.  Of course we haven’t been able to fill my mothers shoes but by being a tight and united…

Marjorie Blackwell, A survivor since 2009 There is wonder and there is bravery and there is hope- this is the fabulous Runway for Recovery team that I am thrilled to support again this year. This is my third time as a Runway model, and each time I walk I continue to be in awe of the courageous models and the entire Runway support team. As a breast cancer survivor, I have experienced the highs, the lows, the anxieties, the challenges, and best of all the successes. And along the way my family, including those furry members with four legs, have…

Meet the Models: Kathryn Phillips

By Caroline O'Donnell | August 29, 2016

Kathryn Phillips, Survivor since 2010 & walking in memory of her mother, Susan S. Bailis (2000.)  I have learned the incredible power of community in the Runway family, but even more I feel that Runway has literally altered the path of Savannah’s life and has changed the way she views breast cancer. Runway is, without question, Savannah’s favorite day of the year, but additionally it is the most important event in her life. Runway has given her a community (a family really) of support, love and understanding. There is no one who understands better then someone who actually knows. She…

Meet the Models: Jenna Auber

By Caroline O'Donnell | August 29, 2016

Jenna Auber, Survivor since 2013  I walk the Runway for three reasons: to honor the lives and memories of courageous loved ones we’ve lost, to celebrate the beauty and strength of fellow survivors, and to support the families who are currently battling the devastating blow of a cancer diagnosis. When I was making my way through treatment and “putting one foot in front of the other”, every ounce of energy I had went into healing my mind, body and soul and keeping everything as normal as possible for my precious little boys (then 2&4). Financial responsibilities, though ever-present, took a…
