GOOD NEWS & BAD NEWS The Give Kids a Chance Act was just introduced in the Senate—great news! ? But the House failed to include it in the latest funding bill. ? This bill removes barriers so kids can access the same cancer drug combinations as adults. It costs taxpayers nothing but could save lives. ?? We need your help! Take 2 minutes to urge Congress to pass this bill: https://lnkd.in/exfuQgTa #GiveKidsAChance #ChildhoodCancer #ActNow

??? BOP Wednesday Warrior Spotlight Meet our incredible warrior, Jackson! ?? At just two years old, Jackson was diagnosed with high-risk Neuroblastoma. Amidst his brave battle, he also developed Advanced Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS). With the care of superheroes like Dr. Brian Kushner, Dr. Maria Sulis, Dr. Andrew Harris, and many others at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC), Jackson triumphed over cancer not once, but twice! ???? Two years after completing 2.5 years of rigorous treatment, we are thrilled to announce that Jackson is thriving! He loves first grade and golfing with dad. He is a strong, happy, and resilient boy who has now completed 9 out of 10 neuroblastoma vaccines, which is heavily funded by Band of Parents. The vaccine trial represents a monumental shift in survival rates for this deadly disease, with overall survival rates continuing to improve. Jackson is living proof! ???? Let’s celebrate Jackson’s journey and the incredible advances in treatment that are making a difference for so many children. Together, we fight, together we triumph! ??? #BOPWednesdayWarrior #CancerSurvivor #Neuroblastoma #StrongerTogether
