In 2025, we reaffirmed our commitment to advancing pediatric brain tumor research through a multi-year partnership with the Children's Brain Tumor Network. Guided by CBTN's expertise and focus on the area of greatest unmet need, we are continuing to support an important liquid biopsy research effort aimed at improving understanding of recurrent medulloblastoma.

This work will continue in 2026, allowing for stronger follow-through and long-term impact while contributing valuable data to shared research resources that benefit the broader scientific community.

We are grateful to partner with CBTN in moving this critical research forward for children and families!

The Senate is preparing to vote on the Mikaela Naylon Give Kids a Chance Act, and the window for action is closing fast. We need your voice heard NOW to ensure our senators know this legislation is a priority for their constituents.

The deadline for maximum impact is this week, but we strongly urge you to send your message today to ensure it reaches your senators' offices before the vote.

Why We're Reaching Out Again

First, we want to express our deepest gratitude for your incredible response to our previous calls to action. Your voices have been heard in Congress, and that momentum is critical right now. The House has already voted unanimously to pass this bill - now we need the Senate to do the same. Your continued advocacy is making a real difference in the fight for children with cancer.

Why This Moment Matters

The Mikaela Naylon Give Kids a Chance Act represents a historic opportunity to transform pediatric cancer treatment. This vital legislation would authorize targeted clinical trials involving combinations of drugs to treat pediatric cancer, potentially opening new treatment pathways for children fighting cancer. It modifies requirements for pediatric cancer investigations to accelerate the development of new therapies specifically for children.

Your two state senators will be voting on this bill. Their decision will directly impact whether children battling cancer get access to the innovative treatments and hope they desperately need.

Take Action in Less Than 5 Minutes

We urgently need you to contact your two state senators and urge them to vote YES on the Give Kids a Chance Act. The process is simple and will take less than 5 minutes of your time:

1. Click the link below to find your senators' contact information:

https://www.senate.gov/senators/senators-contact.htm

2. Call or email using the message below (copy and paste - it's that easy):
