Meet Cristina aka Crissy: A Breast Cancer Warrior

Instead of letting her diagnosis define her, she resolved to beat the cancer—and she did.Listen as Crissy shares her journey, from the challenges she faced to the triumphs she achieved. Her story is a testament to resilience, hope, and the power of community. We hope her experience inspires others to stay strong and never lose hope.Let’s honor all those fighting breast cancer and remember: You are not alone! #BreastCancerAwareness #Inspiration #WarriorSpirit
