Christina's son Dylan was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in 2016. They attended the first MIB Agents FACTOR conference in 2017 and found a tremendous community of support and helpful resources. Dylan bonded with fellow OsteoWarriors at Warrior HQ at FACTOR every year while Christina and Dylan's dad Burt soaked up all the information they could from FACTOR scientific sessions and other MIB Agents resources like OsteoBites. As a volunteer Agent, Christina worked with a team of OsteoMoms and doctors to create the MIB Agents Testing and Research Directory in 2019. When Dylan passed away in 2021 after bravely battling osteosarcoma for five years, Christina joined the MIB Agents team in January 2022 as the Director of Scientific Programs. In this role, Christina creates programs to engage and support the scientific community who are striving to improve treatment options and outcomes. In addition to being a proud owner of a MIB Agents Family Fund honoring Dylan, she is also a founding member of the Battle Osteosarcoma team that partnered with St. Baldrick's Foundation to fund a $1.4 million research grant, and a consumer reviewer for the CDMRP Peer Review Cancer Research Program. She is grateful to MIB Agents for giving her the opportunity to make it better for OsteoWarriors everywhere, which is helping her transform senseless loss into a sense of purpose - #BecauseOfDylan.
