Our beautiful son was diagnosed with Myoepithelial Carcinoma (MEC), an exceptionally rare and aggressive cancer. This project is our mission to find a cure.

Mil gracias to the amazing Valeria Montes and Casa Flamenca for last night’s special “Besos for Sebas” fundraiser. Not only did we raise thousands towards a cure, but the love and generosity of spirit of all in attendance will continue to hold us as we fight MEC alongside Sebas.

Throughout his chemo, Sebas struggled with losing his hair. He would talk about it a lot and how much he wanted his hair to be long. We told him that when we moved back home he could grow it out again. Well his eyebrows are already starting to grow back! #cancerwarriors #chemosux

Yesterday, Sebas rec'd his final dose of chemo! He endured 10 long rounds over 31 weeks with 6 diff chemo drugs. To celebrate, the wonderful nurses & doctors at
@stanfordchild threw him a lil party. He rang the bell 3x to mark the end of his treatment! #littlewarrior #chemosux

Sebas was admitted yesterday for his 10th round of chemo. Naomi made this video because it felt important to mark the occasion and the mixed emotions that are overwhelming us. https://t.co/TiL4WsnBDG

We are honored that Dolores Huerta joined our “Besos for Sebas” campaign at the Recuerda Cesar Chavez celebration. Look for her video on her birthday 4/10 inviting us to join her in sending a beso to Sebas! #cureMEC #MyoepithelialCarcinoma
