When I heard Christine’s story she was able to command my complete attention, not just her medical past up but how she dealt with and overcame obstacles. She reminded me of the saying, “If you think you’ve got it tough, listen to someone else’s story.” How when she came upon adverse situations and met them head-on is inspiring.
