New York Fashion Night, which will be held at Pure: The Existence, was organized to help a fashion model cope up with her disease—brain cancer.

The local fashion model, Morgan Griffin has hoped all her life to be a runway supermodel. She is stunningly beautiful at twenty-three years old, but her face and her catwalk were put to risk when diagnosed with a brain tumor in December 2010. Though she immediately had surgery to remove it,  the financial implication of the entire treatment course is something to worry about.

It’s an odd twist of events since Morgan had already landed her first magazine cover just before she was diagnosed with a Stage Two Astrocytoma. She had to drop out from college and put her modeling career on hold in order to cope with surgery and side effects of the treatment. To help Morgan, her family and friends put up a huge fashion show for Morgan’s benefit. As Massingill says, “From what I see and what I know, she is really genuine. She has a lot of friends and a lot of support. I don’t think she would have that kind of support if she wasn’t who she was on the inside.”

The fashion show is expected to be gigantic. As photographer Toni Riales who helped plan the show, said “We thought… Let’s just do something.. Let’s throw a party. Since we don’t do anything small, we decided to have a giant fashion show, and have band and a dj and make it a fundraising event for her.”

Though Morgan won’t be able to do the catwalk at the fashion event solely for her, her friends and supporters will surely be there.
