Dean’s Letter – December 2023
Dear Friends, My phone buzzed. I really didn’t want to look. I knew what it would say. Rally Kid Caroline, after fighting brain cancer for 10 years, was now pain free shining brightly in heaven. Caroline shines brightly in our hearts, too. I miss that spunky mature-beyond-her-years kid. She epitomizes Rally’s mission. She spoke at Rally signature events and at corporate sponsor events. Together we advocated in Washington, D.C. for more federal funding for childhood cancer research. Rally Kid Ailani, who is fighting cancer for the sixth time and is currently on a treatment made possible by Rally funding, has also advocated with me in D.C. Her mom is retired from the Navy after more than 20 years of service and her dad is currently serving. I am thrilled to share that our advocacy work with the Department of Defense (DOD) is going well. In the past six years, the DOD Medical Research...
Rally to the Capitol
Hi Amazing Advocates, At CureFest we had to pivot because of the weather and had an indoor Rally to the Capitol. We asked more than 190 advocates to give us the top three childhood cancer priorities that they would share with the Biden Cancer Moonshot. We are happy to share the results with you. I had the opportunity to share the results with the Biden Cancer Moonshot last week. They were very interested. They have a strong interest in expediting clinical trials, which is great. Thank you again for sharing your top three priorities for the Biden Moonshot. Your voices matter! Also thank you for all the videos for Gabriella Miller 2.0. We are happy to report that Gabriella Miller 2.0 has been introduced in the House and Senate. Now we are waiting for the House and Senate to vote on the bill. After each bill passes the respective House or Senate, a conference committee will be appointed...
