Just a great blog post from Robert, formerly an 18-year old with cancer, now a clinical fellow in hematology/oncology, reflecting on the importance of continued funding for cancer research. It saved his life.

This program has not cost taxpayers a dime. It expired in December, 2024. The Give Kids a Chance Act also includes a program necessary to find more cures to kids with cancer: pediatric studies of combinations of new cancer drugs.
The Give Kids a Chance Act is a bill to promote drug development for children with cancer and other life threatening rare diseases. It includes the pediatric priority review voucher, which has resulted in over 60 new drugs for kids with cancer since 2012.
