Christine Hodgdon, a former conservation biologist, was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) in 2015. She co-founded GRASP in 2019 in honor of a dear friend who passed from MBC. To address the unmet needs of patients living with brain metastases, she created the BCBM Initiative: Marina Kaplan Project and co-developed MBCBrainMets.org. Christine serves as the Johns Hopkins patient advocate representative for the TBCRC and co-leads the Hopkins INSPIRE Research Advocacy Program.
