Bianca Balti wants to participate on the runway despite ovarian cancer
Italian 41-year-old model Bianca Balti recently shared her life story through the Substack platform. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

She announced that she began treatment for ovarian cancer in October 2024. During this time, she officially applied to participate in a Victoria's Secret show.

On October 6, Bianca wrote a letter to the company requesting permission to take part in the famous show held on October 15. She expressed her feelings as follows: “I don’t know where I found the strength, but I did it.

The only thing worth regretting in life is missing an opportunity. That’s why I asked myself: ‘What am I losing?’ and made my decision.

I found the email addresses of the company’s employees through LinkedIn and sent my letter to all of them.” The model continued, “I am not the youngest or the most suitable woman.

But I am strong, brave, and full of life. My scars are my pride, my regrown hair is my victory.

If I walk this runway, it will not only be a personal achievement but also a message to millions of women: ‘Life goes on despite challenges. You are still beautiful and whole.

No one can stop you’,” she emphasized. So far, the company has not officially responded to this request.

Nevertheless, Bianca’s courage and sincere words are widely supported on social media. This event serves as an inspiration to many people.
