Race to Cure Sarcoma raises awareness for a rare type of cancer by Chikage Windler
Aubrielle Pena: A Warrior's Brave Journey
Aubrie was a courageous 14 year old girl, who faced a rare sarcoma cancer, CIC-DUX4. With incredible strength and love. Despite multiple challenges, she remained positive. Always telling her parents "I got this" and fighting for her family. Even when faced with difficult news that her sarcoma had progressed, Aubrie's spirit never wavered.
Her journey was marked by:
- Unwavering determination to keep fighting
- Love for her family that gave her strength
- Resilience in the face of incredible challenges
Throughout her treatment, Aubrie continued to dream-planning her Quinceanera, thinking about college and finding joy in moments like going to the movies and concerts. Her parent described her as our "sweet girl" who fought hard until the very end. Aubrie passed away May 9th, 2024, surrounded by her loving family, and her closest friends. Leaving behind a legacy of courage, hope and love.

During school winter break, Aubrie and I would take mother-daughter trips. Those moments together sparked her love for travel and became some of our sweetest memories.

First stop on my Aubrie Bucket List was Paris, France. She had wanted to visit Marie Antoinette's bedroom in the Palace of Versailles. And to see the Eiffel Tower at night.

Another destination checked off the list: Salem, Massachusetts. Aubrie loved fall, it was her favorite season. Being there felt like I was carrying a piece of her. Where to next?
Strong for Sarcoma: 26.2 Miles of Hope
Miles, Memories, and Mission: Four Friends in DC for Sarcoma Awareness
An emotional weekend--full of tears of joy, laughter, awareness, sweat, and late-night talks. I came with one mission: to cheer on my best friend at the Marine Corp Marathon. Watching her dedication, strength, and heart out on that course was nothing short of inspiring. Her first out of state marathon (definitely not her last). Proud doesn't even begin to cover it. Her run was with a HUGE purpose! To raise awareness for Sarcoma and to honor Aubrie.
