Love this "Women of Style" feature in The Atlantan Modern Luxury, which includes the glamorous and inspirational Christine Strange, a two-time breast cancer survivor, and survivor advocate who is all about positive mental wellness.

Christine is currently relaunching The Tickled Pink Shooting Club, a bold and healing space that was created for women to build confidence by shooting clay targets, and to support breast cancer survivors and fighters through empowerment.

Christine also works with the amazing nonprofit, Send Me On Vacation, providing wellness retreats to breast cancer survivors. Christine uses her experiences to empower other women, helping them to heal from the emotional trauma of cancer. Christine's unmistakable passion helps survivors know that they are not alone.
