The Trump Admin is ending funding for the Pediatric Brain Tumor Consortium, shutting down clinical trials for kids with deadly brain cancer.
Children will lose access to lifesaving treatments.
Cruel. Shortsighted. Unconscionable.
Save Sharks, Kill Cancer! If it is July, it is sharks, and shark week. This year, we are proud to introduce the “Layla Bracelets for the Ocean: Lucy Edition. But yours to help save sharks and kill cancer :)
I’ll never forget this moment or Twitter post. We never told her that the cancer came back. Many told us not to do that. She had nothing but joy, till the end. Carefree. We made the right call.
Pediatric cancer is a brutal field, with many awful moments. And then, there are these. What incredible symbolism and SUNLIGHT! Taken out back, an hour ago, background removed. Helping to restore an endangered species. Thank you all for all you do.
@FilbinMariella Isn’t it so cool meeting current and former astronauts? They have such great stories and perspectives. We had one zoom with Layla’s entire first grade class and was blown away at their questions and another did a zoom with her in 2022 and they keep in touch :)
@myron_evansPhD This is awesome. My grandfather brought my grandmother a rose every day of their marriage. One day I caught him in our backyard with scissors and I said “hey, what are you doing? I thought you said you bought her a rose everyday.” He said, with a wise guy smile, “bRought!” :)
