Christie's Battle For Life & Family

Donation protected
Diagnosed with Stage 4 Throat Cancer after seeing an ENT specialist with a sore throat in 2014, Christie trusted the Traditional Medical system and committed to undergoing all treatments.

After months or treatments, Christie was diagnosed and given the devastating news that her cancers have now spread and was not curable!

The doctors gave Christie 36% chance of surviving the next two years. Instead of wallowing in self-pity, Christie has made her mantra...

"I am the 36 Percent!"

There is no Conventional Treatment available as Christie’s body cannot cope with any chemo or toxicity.

Christie wants to share life with her three small children as they grow up, and spend time with her wonderful husband, Ron. 8-year-old Sophie wants her Mom to watch her perform at her gymnastics events. Trace is 7, loves Ninja Zone and still enjoys a cuddle with Mom. Lane has turned 5, lost his first tooth and loves knowing Mom is close by to read him a book.


After enduring vigorous treatments of double chemotherapy and radiation, it has left Christie with:  

• Ears that do not hear  
• Fingers that do not feel 
• Feet that always stumble 
• A mind that doesn’t remember 
• A throat that does not swallow 
• And a body that continues to grow cancer. 
 
Christie's family has sacrificed so much for her treatments: 

• During Christie's 1st Chemo treatments Ron worked night shift and drove her to treatment each day which was over an hour away. He slept in the car, exhausted. 
• Payment for treatments and medications are in the thousands.  
• Moving to a state that allows legal Cannabis use. 
• Living expenses of maintaining two places to live. 


Christie is seeking Alternative Care which has minimal side effects - the stuff big Pharmacy and the Government never want promoted.  
 
Alternative Therapy: 
 
• treats the whole body, not only the symptoms, so that Christie’s body can fight the cancers. 
• uses the latest in scientific research and treatments to develop a treatment plan that is specific and unique to Christie.  
• Uses tests from a molecular level and treatments are adjusted to ensure Christie's body is at its optimum to fight the cancers. 
• includes access to a gym to provide exercise. 
• provides wellness and enables Christie to spend her time in a positive, relaxed, hopeful environment. 
 
Christie has benefited from legal Medicinal Cannabis Oil, which aids with: 

• Increased Appetite 
• Tumor shrinkage 
• Pain relief 
• Reduced nausea 
• Increases sleep 
 
Although Christie is very careful with money, most of the alternative treatment is not covered by insurance and is extremely expensive. 

Christie is a fighter and an amazing friend with incredible positivity and determination.  

She is an inspiration to others and freely gives her time to help others reach their dreams, putting their needs before her own. 

Her priority is getting well and strong, so that she can continue to live life as a mother, wife, daughter, friend, and mentor to so many. She wants to be the best she can be. She does not feel sorry for herself nor wallow in her diagnosis.  

Christie is upbeat and ready to continue living life. 
Her priority is to defy expectation and to love, laugh, and keep living. 
 
Christie has given so much to so many - now she needs our help to prolong her life and embrace Alternative Therapy.  
 
Please support Christie's Cause and generously give, so she may have the most precious and priceless of gifts … Time.
