By: Omni Publicity But the joy was short lived – Robyn was diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer six years ago. It was in the middle of treatment when Robyn found inspiration in Alex and Jamie's running and laced up her own running shoes. She joined her sons and husband on the trails as a therapy to heal herself, both emotionally and physically. She eventually beat her breast cancer and attributes part of her success to running. Running has since become a way of life for the Schneiders and a way to communicate with her non-verbal sons. “There are unspoken words exchanged when we’re running; long conversations between parents and sons that only we can hear. The smiles and tight hugs at the end of a run tells each of us everything we need to know. Robyn will be running along with her twin autistic sons, Alex and Jamie, in the The Hope Runs Here 13.1 mile Half-Marathon. Proceeds from the race will go to LI2DAY that funds programs that include counseling services specifically designed for children and teens affected by their parent/guardian’ Robyn Schneider has media experience and is available for interviews.
