![Cynthia Murphy, Treacher Collins Syndrome and Abigail Adams the Advocate with Down syndrome walking the runway together](https://mma.prnewswire.com/media/1089582/1.jpg?p=publish)

The fashion show will not only showcase the latest designs; it dares to rock the beauty status quo by its inclusion of models with craniofacial birth defects, physical and mental challenges, deafness, and blindness. Murphy, born with Treacher Collins Syndrome (TCS), will be joined on the runway, once again, with [Abigail Adams](https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=2718537-1&h=3658797716&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FAbigailTheAdvocate%2F&a=Abigail+Adams) ([Abigail the Advocate](https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=2718537-1&h=3291690494&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Fabigail_the_advocate%2F&a=Abigail+the+Advocate)), an actor, model, and advocate with Down's Syndrome.

 

Her mission is to open doors for other non-traditional models who live with disabilities and make it commonplace to see them on the stage.

 

Cynthia actively recruits models for benefit shows. Her efforts include one of her more recent shows at [V-Inspired](https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=2718537-1&h=1427533813&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FCraniofacialVegan%2Fposts%2F1005006509858869&a=V-Inspired) featuring Vero Cruz's designs in Los Angeles, California, where she collaborated with model activist [Candy Zavala](https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=2718537-1&h=2824869518&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FCraniofacialVegan%2Fposts%2F987501361609384&a=Candy+Zavala) who also has TCS.

 

Supporting military veterans is near and dear to Cynthia and her husband and co-founder of [Assuaged, Inc.,](https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=2718537-1&h=1860395451&u=http%3A%2F%2Fassuaged.com%2Four-story&a=Assuaged%2C+Inc.%2C) Thane Murphy, [a Marine veteran](https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=2718537-1&h=1794874993&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.assuaged.com%2Fnews%2Ffrom-suicide-to-success-assuaged-cofounder-and-usmc-disabled-veteran-is-fighting-for-others-with-ptsd&a=a+Marine+veteran) who suffered a traumatic brain injury during his service. His resulting Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and her own health issues and genetic disability compelled them to find alternative treatments.

 

They have found healing and wellness through a plant-based diet and lifestyle and want to help others bridge the gap between healthcare and self-care. They've recently re-launched the award-winning and proprietary [Assuaged iOS app ](https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=2718537-1&h=1429771399&u=https%3A%2F%2Fapple.co%2F2mwKQ7x&a=Assuaged+iOS+app%C2%A0)where users can discover and purchase curated organic and vegan food, home, beauty, and health products.

#### More About the Founders

 

[Cynthia Murphy](https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=2718537-1&h=756237703&u=https%3A%2F%2Fthemighty.com%2Fu%2Fcynthia-murphy%2F&a=Cynthia+Murphy) is a craniofacial disability activist and graduate student finishing a second Master's degree in Public Health at Purdue University while serving her internship at Patients Rising. She has overcome many chronic health conditions caused by Treacher Collins Syndrome, a **genetic** **birth defect** that affects the bones, muscles, and soft tissues of the face and skull. To date, she's undergone 16+ reconstructive plastic surgeries**.**

 

[Thane Murphy](https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=2718537-1&h=2329875685&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.usveteransmagazine.com%2F2019%2F09%2Fdisabled-veteran-fighting-others-ptsd%2F&a=Thane+Murphy)* is a **disabled USMC veteran**. *Unfortunately, his service was cut short when he sustained a Traumatic Brain Injury during a vehicle accident while on duty. Despite fighting to stay in the military, he was honorably and medically discharged. Thane felt incredibly lost during the transition back to civilian life.

 

After their health changes, Thane reversed pre-diabetes and obesity within three months of new health changes following a letter from the VA, stating that he is now within the top 5% of the healthiest males in his age category. Thane graduated **summa cum laude **from Purdue University, specializing in nutrition and holistic medicine. He is now pursuing his Ph.D. in Holistic Natural Health, Healing, and Nutrition.

 

The Murphys would like to specially thank [Kiss the Monkeys & Kiss the Mermaids](https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=2718537-1&h=699510989&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fkissthemonkeys%2F&a=Kiss+the+Monkeys+%26+Kiss+the+Mermaids) for their immense efforts to showcase a more diverse range of models.
