John Pineda's Birthday Challenge On May 21, 2009 my sister, brother, and I lost our mother, Carmelita Pineda, to Triple Negative Breast Cancer. She fought the disease valiantly from her diagnosis in October 2007 until her passing. Our friends and family were devastated by her passing and still are to this day. In the weeks before my 23rd birthday on October 28, I decided that I wanted to do something different. I decided that instead of asking for material items for my birthday, I would challenge my family and friends to educate themselves about Triple Negative Breast Cancer and donate to the TNBC Foundation in my mother’s memory.

In their community, Barbara and Carla are known as “Lucy and Ethel Unlimited” because they are unlimited in the dedication they offer to the charities they support.
