Fashion for the Fight
These aren’t your average, everyday models. These are cancer survivors taking to the runway in the fight against cancer!
This event is very near and dear to my heart. I lost my mother, who was my hero, to breast cancer and two years ago my husband was diagnosed and treated for thyroid cancer. It’s a speed bump, it’s not a stop sign.
Since 2016, Lynn has made it her personal mission to work alongside the North Hawaiʻi Community Hospital. Their goals was to feature cancer survivors and caregivers to raise awareness and donations for the Cancer Center. Every year, Fashion for the Fight has been a tale of hope, perseverance, and positivity. For our community, it helps add to the cheerful holiday season.

Each model has a story to tell
Each model has their own reason to walk, which is what gives this event so much gravity. Some walk for their loved ones, and others walk to show that they could beat cancer. Lynn made it a special point to highlight model and breast cancer survivor Bernie Ono. What made her so special for this event is that she has been a nurse for over 40 years. Now, it was her time to finally shine.
When I met Bernie on November 16 of this year, she told me she’s very uncomfortable about this event because she’s so used to being under the radar and everybody being taken care of by her… So we have to give her a huge scream before the stage!
