Meet the Models: Beth Dwyer

By Caroline O'Donnell | August 31, 2016

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…

Meet the Models: My Doan

By Caroline O'Donnell | August 31, 2016

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. It also brought me closer to my friends and family and allowed me to stay present. I first participated in R4R about 5 years ago, but this year as I surpass my 6-year remission anniversary, I feel especially honored and thrilled to be back on the stage! I will walk to give strength to those who are currently battling,…

Meet the Models: Anne Mills

By Caroline O'Donnell | August 31, 2016

Anne Mills, Survivor since 2006 2016 is my 10 year anniversary post breast cancer diagnosis. During discovery and treatment I truly did not think I would have another 10 years. What a gift these 10 years have been. In 2008 I moved to the Northshore from upstate NY to be nearer my 3 married adult children. In 2008 I also participated in a workshop through my yoga studio that asked me to go deep into my heart to identify what was holding me back from enjoying my life as it was post cancer.  I discovered many things about myself but…

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.

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…
