Beth Dwyer, Walking in memory of her mother, Jean Lubrano (1998) I am one of 4 sister, Lubrano sisters….and a lone brother (who we would love to rangle to model one year). My sister, Stacey introduced us to R4R when it was still happening in Concord. This was our first modeling gig. We fell in love with the joy of the event immediately and have walked the runway twice. Our Mother, Jean Hambleton Lubrano, passed away in 98′ after a 20 year battle with the beast we know as Breast Cancer. Mom was so brave and she left us with the…
Read More »My Doan, Survivor since 2010 Cancer gives you a sobering perspective on life and while it has left my body and mind with both physical and emotional scars, it has opened my eyes to see what’s important and precious in life.

Read More »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.
