I was diagnosed at 44. Founded a group providing information on natural therapies, to be used with conventional treatment, afterwards or instead. We support people’s right to make informed decisions.

Additionally my partner of 25 years owned an exec search firm - I see a connection. Good luck. Donation today!

Christine, you never fail to amaze me! Your strength, courage and positive attitude during the last two years is truly inspirational. I am sharing your story with another friend of mine who has just been diagnosed with breast cancer. You give hope and strength to other women and let them know that they can survive and come back stronger than ever. Your wish…to have your family proud of you when you return…they already are! Love ya girlfriend…GOOD LUCK!!!!

Christine is an inspiration to people like me. I am a mom of two kids with a husband as well and she shows me to never give up on myself and that I can do anything that I set my mind to doing. Cheers to Christine and the rest of the survivor climbers! They have already conquered their worst fears and now they can go for another challenge that will give back to many others that were in their same situation.

Your friends will be cheering you on in Texas!

I can’t figure out which one to post on so I post on both. By now you’re probably begining to wonder….what have I done? Let me tell you….You have inspired and encouraged more than you will ever know. I know you’re there and I still can’t believe it. What an amazing journey and quest you have defined for yourself. You should be so proud of who you are and what you are doing. I know I am.
