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.

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…
