As a player on the GreeneTeam (our name for the DrGreene.com staff), I admire our leader Cheryl Greene for so many reasons: her tireless dedication to DrGreene.com, her humor in dealing with life’s little emergencies, her passion to help parents learn as much as they can about how to raise healthy, happy children…. During the Greenes’ recent vacation, a small gesture gave me another reason to call her my hero (Read the story of her short-lived career as an Ecuadoran shoe shiner.)

But to understand how incredibly strong this woman is, you need to understand what she’s been through. Read Organic Farmer Chris Blanchard’s blog post on Eat Better News to understand how Cheryl’s diagnosis of breast cancer changed the Greenes’ lives forever. The story has a happy ending, and we look forward to Cheryl’s leadership of the GreeneTeam for a long, long time.
