Christine, I know I am hijacking but I just have to tell you that each time I hear your story I am so deeply touched in ways I have never experienced. I know you don't do it for praise but I have to tell you that before I met you I drew my strength from those we lost to this horrible disease. Your passion, your fight, your perseverance just gives me the courage and strength to keep battling no matter what! Thank you for all you do and who you are.
