Sunshine Cruz just proved that nothing—not even an autoimmune disease—can dim her light. The 46-year-old actress recently shared her health struggles on Instagram, revealing that she was diagnosed with myasthenia gravis, a condition that affects muscle strength.

"It’s been a real roller coaster these past months," Sunshine wrote. "Building muscle has been a real struggle." But despite the challenges, she remains grateful and determined, giving a special shoutout to her coach for helping her stay strong.

And guess what? She didn’t let her condition stop her from slaying the runway. Sunshine walked for Bench Fashion Week, calling the experience a powerful reminder of what’s possible, even when things get tough.

“To all my fellow moms and Gen Xers, never give up on your dreams,” she encouraged, showing that age and health challenges are no match for passion and perseverance.

She also expressed gratitude to Ben Chan for giving her the opportunity to be part of the Bench family, describing the show as “incredible” and everyone involved as “AMAZING.”

Sunshine’s strength and resilience are nothing short of inspiring. She’s proving that even with life’s hurdles, you can still shine.
