An 18-year-old model with Down syndrome relearned how to walk and talk and made her modeling debut on the catwalk in 2019 after overcoming a harrowing three-year battle with cancer.

Kirsty Harrower, of Sheffield, England, walked at the Liverpool Fashion week show nine months after her doctors gave her the all clear in 2019. Kirsty, who was diagnosed with leukemia when she was 15, spent three years fighting back against cancer before finally getting her shot to join her younger sister, Melissa, in the modeling world.
