@KFILE@timihaworth Amazing news for the childhood cancer community.
It’s not well known, but Neil Armstrong lost a daughter to the same type of brain cancer as Gabriella - DIPG. If we can put a man on the moon, we can cure childhood cancer.
Huge thank you to Patrick Byrne from @RepMarciaFudge’s office for meeting with the DIPG Advocacy group to help us get H. Res. 114 Moonshot4Kids passed!
3 yrs ago today, we said goodbye to our most precious little girl, Chika, on a sunny April afternoon, not unlike one in her homeland of Haiti. Although she survived an earthquake when she was three days old, she ultimately lost her battle with a terrible disease, #DIPG at 7 ...
Now that the CDC is recommending people wear masks, here is a neat video to show how to make one that should work as well as the N95 style ones. https://t.co/fdhjIaly7r

@DefeatDIPG I feel your pain. Jacob and I spent his last months snuggling on our sectional couch watching tv. He loved it so much, that's where he wanted to be when he died. I had the hardest time getting a new couch, and held out until it was literally falling apart.
@Adonna_Biel - help us get Joe to endorse our #Moonshot4Kids! DIPG is similar to what Beau had, except it’s in the brain stem and affects mostly kids.
We’ve got H. Res 114 in the House, but it’s not really going anywhere. We need Joe’s support!

We share Vivian Rose Weaver’s passing with deep sorrow in our hearts. Vivian surpassed some odds for DIPG, but it’s not nearly enough time for this beautiful little girl to shine in this world. But with her time — shine she did. 💗

@HappyQuailPress I met Lauren at one of her fundraisers. I’ll never forget the hug she gave me when her dad told her I lost my son to DIPG. She was one of a kind ❤️
@RepSteveChabot - I stopped by your office last Thursday and dropped off information on H. Res. 114 #Moonshot4Kids. Over 100 reps have signed on to this bipartisan resolution to bring awareness to #DIPG. Why haven’t you signed on yet?

@TDucklo - can you pass this along to VP Biden? I know he’s busy with the campaign and wouldn’t be able to attend, but we would love for him to give us a “shout out”.

@VPBiden@NASAArmstrong please be aware of our #Moonshot4Kids, the DIPG Awareness Resolution for pediatric brain cancer, the #1 cause of cancer-related death in children. It's first introduction was the day after Vice President Biden's Cancer Moonshot Initiative was introduced.
