Jeanne Beker is a Canadian fashion icon, journalist, author and speaker.
She’s also a cancer survivor.
Diagnosed with breast cancer in 2022, the former Fashion Television host has segued her platform of style into one of support for others experiencing cancer.
Beker is taking that mission a step further with a new shoe release with designer Ron White. The made-in-Italy sneaker was created in support of the half-marathon Walk to Conquer Cancer event (Sept. 6), which supports life-saving cancer research at The Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation in Toronto.
Priced at $595 (available at The Shopping Channel ), the Carry the Fire shoe sees $300 from each pair sold donated to the foundation.
