There are voices in the breast cancer community that comfort, voices that educate, and voices that create powerful change. At Learn Look Locate, we are honored to have Christine Handy — breast cancer survivor, model, author, filmmaker, and devoted advocate — as one of those extraordinary voices.
She brings profound empathy and determination to our mission: to make trusted breast-health education and emotional support accessible to every person, everywhere.
Christine’s life changed the moment she was diagnosed with breast cancer at age forty-one. But instead of allowing that diagnosis to define her, she transformed it into purpose. With resilience, faith, and a deep desire to help others, she became a global advocate—amplifying what survivorship truly looks and feels like.
Her bestselling novel, Walk Beside Me, opened the door for many to recognize their own worth even in the most vulnerable moments. Her advocacy didn’t stop there.
Christine’s story is now presented in the feature film Hello Beautiful, in which she serves as executive producer. The film reflects the truth of breast cancer—not only the medical journey, but the emotional, relational, and identity shifts that follow.
Christine’s work through Hello Beautiful has earned significant recognition and momentum:
“At 41 as a high-profile model and mother, I was diagnosed with breast cancer … the books and the films that I’ve sought out about cancer … either sugar-coated the journey a lot or ended in a funeral, which made me more fearful.”
In the article for Variety:
“What I found was troubling and fear-based,” Christine said during the screening series. “I found really beautiful Hollywood movies … but they start with a diagnosis, sugar-coat the process, and end in a funeral. And I was more afraid. I thought, that’s not fair. People going through this deserve better.”
This momentum speaks volumes: awards, screenings, community involvement, and candid conversations—aligning powerfully with our message of global breast-health education and survivor empowerment.
Christine’s support of Learn Look Locate is ongoing and deeply impactful. She:
