Dear Pfizer, It’s time to put your money where your mouth is! Tonight you hit a nerve. Those heroic kids fighting cancer help your image but those are OUR kids and we expect you not to exploit them @Pfizer lets talk. We do NEED you. Fight with us! Where are your kids cancer Trials? Just 4? Kids Sarcoma trials? No. DMG/DIPG trials No. Other kids Brain Cancer? No. You have just 4 recruiting trials for all kids cancer it seems what are we missing?? Thank you for showcasing the heroic bravery and fight of our kids with cancer. It inspires us daily. BUT Now, do something about it. Put your money where your mouth is. PLEASE start with the toughest that take resources of your magnitude to fight. Help us bring advances to children fighting the most deadly cancers . invest in start ups. Work with our centers of excellence and our families who advocate fiercely hoping to get your attention. Pfizer let’s talk - let’s work together - because we need you and we believe you — we believe you WANT to end cancer like we know it! Please start with the most terminal pediatric cancers like DMG and Sarcomas and let’s save kids! ….then we will be thrilled you paid $6M for a 30 seconds commercial using our kids strength. $6M incidentally buys 600 funerals — the number of kids dying from DMG this year - funerals we pay for with 5Ks and bake sales. When you save a child, you save the family. Let’s work 2gether. Let’s truly change cancer as we know it. Sincerely, A DMG Momma whose watched way too many kids die … let’s change that!

Last year, Congress left kids with cancer behind. Today, 64 CAC2 member organizations joined over a dozen other organizations urging the new Congress to make them the first order of business. Children with cancer have waited long enough–it’s time to finish the job.

Five major bills to fund pediatric cancer research and care—seen as a “historic moment” for kids fighting cancer—were stripped from the federal spending bill and abandoned. One bill would have helped kids on Medicaid access life-saving cancer treatment across state lines. Another bill would have developed new medicines for children with cancers that have no treatments. These bills were the result of years of tireless advocacy by crusaders like Nancy Goodman, who helped write two of them. Nancy and I crossed paths because we both lost young sons to brain cancer before their lives truly began. Nancy has poured her grief into action, shaping impactful legislation for children with cancer. But tonight, she’s devastated. Congress not only abandoned these 5 significant life saving bills, as Nancy puts it they also “abandoned kids with cancer and their families, once again.” ??? Update: 1 of the 5 bills. The Gabriella Miller Kids First Research Act 2.0 was passed into law.
