Another unforgettable moment in my career took place at New York Fashion Week. My friend Catherine Schuller, director at the runway production company HiTech Moda, invited me to speak at one of her shows. This incredible opportunity allowed me to introduce one of our A Free Bird children—a brave young girl who was thrilled to step onto the runway as a fashion model. Walking beside her and sharing the stage was deeply moving. Together, we brought awareness of pediatric cancer to an audience of industry insiders and fashion lovers, turning the spotlight toward the courage and creativity of children facing this challenge. It was truly a special experience that blended fashion, advocacy, and hope.
