Juanita Lira Eguiguren, a remarkable woman who inspired many, passed away at 30 after a brave battle with breast cancer. Diagnosed at 22, Juanita faced her illness with unwavering courage and hope.

“Hope is peace for me,” she said in a poignant farewell, reflecting her belief that hope could triumph over fear.

Born to the mayor of Lo Barnechea, Chile, Juanita’s life took a dramatic turn when she had to cancel her study abroad program in Barcelona after learning of her diagnosis.

She underwent surgery and radiation therapy, displaying incredible strength and determination throughout her journey.

In 2017, despite initial signs of recovery, the cancer returned aggressively. Still, Juanita remained resilient, launching her business, “The Healthy Route,” which provided health-conscious catering and wellness information.

Her efforts gained her a following of over 245,000 on Instagram.

Juanita’s legacy of hope, endurance, and inspiration lives on, reminding us of the power within us to face life’s darkest challenges.
