In 2009, Stella Pipitone lost her courageous battle with breast cancer. But, her legacy still lives on to this day thanks to a relationship she formed with another breast cancer patient, Dr. Sharon Cowden. At the time, Sharon was working with Janette Poppenberg an ACSM/ACS certified Cancer Exercise Trainer on developing an exercise DVD for breast cancer survivors. They had received funding and were in development of the DVD, but needed help promoting it and raising more awareness about it.
