Meet the Models: Brooke Phinney

By Caroline O'Donnell | September 2, 2016

Brooke Phinney, Walking in memory of her grandmother, Frances Brooke Anderson (1973) Since I walked in Runway 10 years ago, I’ve graduated from high school, graduated from college, moved into a new city, started a new job, run a marathon, and started another new job. I’ve encountered both challenges and victories in each new little life chapter, and throughout these past ten years, my mom has assumed so many different roles – the supportive advisor, the fun-loving jokester, the compassionate listener, and the amazing, hilarious, wonderful best friend. Since Runway 10 years ago, I think I’ve finally fully realized just…

By Caroline O'Donnell | August 31, 2016

Meghan Morin, Survivor since 2015 The first time I walked in the Runway show was less than a year ago, I have since had more scans and continue to be in remission.

Since being diagnosed, my view on life…

Meet the Models: Stacy Lamson

By Caroline O'Donnell | August 31, 2016

Stacy Lamson, Walking in memory of her mother, Jean Lubrano (1998) I walked in 2012 with my sisters and we added “Runway” to the  extraordinary times of celebration of my Mom’s life and the things we do to remember her in big ways. It is August 1st as I write this and today our mother Jean passed away exactly 18 years ago. And though we have these big milestones and events that celebrate those we have lost and survivors we honor, I know, each of us, each day, remembers  in so many small ways too. For me It could be…

Meet the Models: Edie Wilkie

By Caroline O'Donnell | August 31, 2016

Edie Wilkie, Survivor since 2012 Since my incredible walks on the runway in 2012 and 2013 and becoming a five year survivor this year, I have become very grateful, appreciative and humbled. I have gained awareness and concern for this disease and for the women and men it affects. Walking the runway is a way for me to give back to the community and offer help to the families who are in need of assistance. As a survivor,  it is important to me to offer guidance, comfort, and encouragement to the women I come in contact with who are traveling on this difficult journey.
