shareAshley Christman is a United States Marine. She has served all over the world, facing hazardous situations in combat and fighting for our freedom. But she wasn’t prepared for the battle she’d have to fight next. In 2021, she was diagnosed with a neuroendocrine tumor after almost a decade of symptoms — but only because of the research she did herself and the dedication to being her own best advocate. She continues to lean on the USMC values of honor, courage, and commitment to ensure she has the best quality of life for herself and her family. This is her story.
