Increase funding for childhood cancer in the 2013 budget submitted to congress

Created by C.P. on January 26, 2012

Dear Mr. Obama,

During your State of the Union address you said, "Today, the discoveries taking place in our federally financed labs and universities could lead to new treatments that kill cancer cells but leave healthy ones untouched." 5 year-old Gabriella Vogel needed a treatment like that.

Keep your State of the Union promise: Increase the funding for research to find a cure for childhood cancers. Basic research into the leading fatal disease among children is likely to lead to new discoveries that help treat or prevent other types of adult cancer. If this great nation can find a cure, it will help the thousands of families that lose a child to this horrible disease.
