I’m an 8-year boobless breast cancer survivor with 2 teen daughters. Catching cancer early is key. The more we talk about cancer, the less scared we’ll be to get that lump checked. Fortunately, with excellent insurance, I didn’t worry about paying for treatment. Being part of Fashion For Cancer means I can help raise funds for those who need it.

Personal Motto: If not for yourself, then for those you love - get checked.

Being part of Fashion For Cancer, I commit to making a positive impact, supporting those affected by cancer, and honouring the resilience and strength of individuals facing this formidable challenge. By joining forces with like-minded individuals and cancer survivors, we can make a tangible difference for those affected by cancer, offering hope, comfort, and solidarity in their journey. Cancer has completely reshaped my outlook and deepened my appreciation for the present moment. Life is so much more beautiful after cancer.

Personal Motto: Be light, be love and be more than you ever thought you could become.  

I was diagnosed with leukaemia. I read about this Fashion For Cancer event in 2023. I felt that having walked the path from a cancer patient to a survivor, I have to showcase that recovery towards better health is possible. I feel that keeping my mind positive, is crucial when one is unwell.

Personal Motto: YODO. You only die once. Treasure every day, when you are alive.

I have stage 4 breast cancer. I am in remission with ongoing and life treatment. I would like to be part of Fashion For Cancer to show that we can live with cancer. We can have the strength to do many beautiful things. This walk (catwalk) is one more step in the journey of my life.

Personal Motto: A simple change of perspective can transform a life.

Surviving stage 4 colorectal cancer and a recurrence to the peritoneum inevitably gives one some perspective on life. The two elements that ring through in my dreams at night are time and impact, which are how to maximise my personal life, family, and community. It's time to put myself out there as a Cancer Still-Surviving Thriver, and I hope it inspires other cancer fighters to live life fabulously and to the max!

Personal Motto: Step out fabulously into life.

I was devastated when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. With God's grace and mercy, he kept me going and gave me the strength to fight this disease. Faith in God, as well as support from my family and colleagues, helped me a lot. I tried to think positively. I kept telling myself that this was just a process I needed to get through. I believe that God has given me a new lease of life to spread his good news. Now, I maintain myself with a healthy diet and lots of exercise.

Personal Motto: A new lease of life to spread the good news.

Months before my wedding day, I was diagnosed with ER-positive breast cancer. "Too old" as a bride, yet "too
young" to be hit with cancer. I find the fear of the unknown was the worst - had I known more, it might have been easier. So, I'm here to make more things about cancer known to others! And share that motherhood (and other dreams) after/ in between cancer treatments is possible.

Personal Motto: Believe you can, a step at a time.

In 2020, when I was 6 months old, I was diagnosed with neuroblastoma. I entered into remission in Jan 2021, just before my 1st birthday. Giving back to the cancer community has been my parent’s wish. Most importantly, my parents want me to be a living testimony to those facing tough times, to remind them that God is with us through each trial and storm of life. My mom, Yimon, and I are blessed to be part of FFC this year.

Personal Motto: Give thanks in all circumstances, for faith can move mountains.

As a survivor, my journey isn't just about me. It's about giving hope to others who are fighting their own battles. By stepping onto that runway, I will show others who may be going through this too, that there is life after cancer. Life can be filled with beauty, laughter, and yes, even fashion!

Personal Motto: We may lose our beauty from time to time. But when we close our eyes and open our hearts - we will see the beauty all around us. Cancer will not be my last…

I was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer at 31 years old with triple positives. I have gone through egg harvesting to preserve my eggs, a lumpectomy surgery, numerous cycles of chemotherapy, targeted therapy and radiotherapy, and I am still going strong. This experience taught me about me. Without it, I wouldn’t know how strong I am, how brave I am and how fearless and optimistic I can be. Life’s tough, but you are tougher. You are not alone.

Personal Motto: Stay positive, think happy.

I don't think anyone can ever prepare for the day you receive a cancer diagnosis. I definitely wasn't. Being diagnosed with cancer at the age of 29 was probably the most life-changing event for me. It was a tough journey but, I count my blessings for the love and support I had. I can only imagine how much harder it would be for those who have to battle not only the disease but also financial burdens and finding the right treatments.

Personal Motto: Don't wait for life to show you the true importance of health.

Stomach Cancer was discovered in 2017; had a total gastrectomy; I want to be a part of the Fashion For Cancer movement to do my bit for charity.

Personal Motto: Trust in God and keep going.

Being diagnosed with testicular cancer was probably the hardest challenge I have had to overcome, and I would never wish it on anyone. However, it did give me a new perspective: Life is too short! We should fully show ourselves and our love and look at the positives in life.
Personal Motto: As cliche as it is…You Only Live Once.

At the age of 2, Sadie was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia and battled through 2 years of intensive chemo. As she got older, she realised how much the ordeal put her and her family through. Sadie feels extremely fortunate to have received the best medical care and has a great support system. She appreciates all her opportunities and experiences since being in remission and hopes to inspire kids going through this to stay positive. 

Personal Motto: Anything is truly possible. 

I want to let people know that while breast cancer is a scary word, it can be treatable. I am currently in remission. I also want to remind women to do more self-checks for their breast health as breast cancer is more apparent in younger ladies.

Personal Motto: Live in the moment and enjoy life.

Breast cancer was the most difficult time in my life. However, this experience made my life much richer. This new lease of life offered me a chance to reconsider what was truly important. It has also taught me that whatever hardships we go through, this life is truly beautiful. There is a crack in everything around us and that's how we let the light in. This crack has given me a deeper appreciation for life. I celebrate every day I am alive.

Personal Motto: Do not let fear, embarrassment, or shame prevent you from finding the help you need. 

As a breast cancer survivor, I aspire to be a ray of hope and inspiration for fellow patients and survivors. Life doesn’t end when cancer begins. It is possible to thrive after cancer, and that life's brilliance doesn't dim in its shadow. Through my toughest battle, I have emerged transformed - loving deeper, laughing louder, and living the best life I could ever live for myself.

Personal Motto: Life is too short to not be happy.

My experience with cancer, losing my mother and overcoming it myself, ignited a desire to empower others. Conquering the disease instilled confidence and a mission to spread awareness, showing that despite its prevalence, hope prevails.
Personal Motto: I live for the present, knowing that tomorrow is never guaranteed.

I am one of the youngest cervical cancer survivors in Singapore. I have triumphed over this daunting ordeal thrice since the age of 24. Through my involvement in the Fashion For Cancer, I am eager to share my journey of self-discovery during this challenging period. I wish to inspire and instill hope in others. My battle with cancer has taught me to embrace self-love and foster a deeper connection with my inner self. Ultimately, I want to lead to a happier and more fulfilling life.

Personal Motto: Be in Power. Be in charge of your life.

To help spread the awareness that cancer can happen to anyone, regardless of age, race, language or religion. Most importantly, to motivate, give strength and encourage existing cancer survivors who have been newly diagnosed or going through treatments at the moment that there’s still life after cancer. In fact, life is better than before. Lastly, this is all for a good cause to help raise funds, enjoy the moment and have fun with the rest of the cancer survivors on the runway.

Personal Motto:  You never know how strong you are, until being strong is the only choice you have.

I am a breast cancer survivor. I want to show that life with, and after, cancer can be beautiful. Cancer led me to live with more purpose, care, and joy. I really thank God for using this difficult journey to reshape me for the better.

Personal Motto: Life with and after cancer can be beautiful and joyful.

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. I chanced upon the story of Rong and Bee Yan and was moved by their initiative. I want to be a part of this Fashion For Cancer movement to spread the words of encouragement to all who are still fighting out there.

Personal Motto: People say you only live once (YOLO). I tell them that I have lived twice.

Over the past decade, I’ve called Singapore home while pursuing my passion as a graphic designer. In 2022, the unexpected diagnosis of hairy cell leukemia took me by surprise. Despite the challenging journey I had to face and having to accept living with cancer, participating in Fashion For Cancer allows me to showcase my resilience and hopefully uplift others.

Personal Motto: Instead of being held back, I choose to live forward.

Receiving a cancer diagnosis while embracing motherhood was tough, but it brought unexpected blessings. Cancer became a 'crash course' in life's essence, teaching me to make wiser choices and cherish each moment. Joining Fashion For Cancer, I aim to inspire others facing similar battles, showing that life after cancer is still beautiful and full of colours. Let's be the light for those in darkness, proving there is still beauty in life beyond adversity.

Personal Motto: In the longest tunnels, light awaits. If darkness persists, ignite it with your bravery.

The Fashion For Cancer movement is a beacon of hope to all, not just cancer patients, that you can thrive in the face of adversity. Cancer was both a challenge and a teacher. It taught me not to sweat the small stuff and prioritising what truly matters.

Personal motto: Cancer does not define us, our strength does.
