Celebration Of Life,KSBW,American Cancer Spciety

Two of the models were twin sisters, Araceli and Angelica Villegas, and their message is simple. There is light at the end of the cancer tunnel.

The American Cancer Society held its annual celebration of life fundraiser Friday in Monterey, California. It's the 30th anniversary of the inspiring event.Models, all of them cancer survivors, strutted their stuff on the runway. Ten stores in the area stepped up to provide the outfits. As twins, they share just about everything. Even, unfortunately, breast cancer. Araceli was diagnosed first when she noticed a lump while breastfeeding her second child.

'They found a bump on both of my breasts, so they tested both by doing a biopsy and they came back positive for triple-negative breast cancer on both sides,' Angelica said.Just 27 years old, the twins found themselves in the fight of their lives. They leaned on each other, their large extended family and their faith.'Having faith helped us a lot. There were times, and don't get me wrong.
