@GovAndyBeshear Thank you for prioritizing childhood cancer!

[Governor Andy Beshear @GovAndyBeshear]

Last night, we lit the Governor's Mansion gold in honor of Childhood Cancer Awareness Day. Together, we can let these brave children and their families know that all of Team Kentucky is here to support them.

[First Lady Britainy Beshear @BritainyBeshear]

On Stand Up to Cancer Day, we honor the strength of every family battling this disease. Andy and I believe health care is a basic human right, and we are committed to making Kentucky a leader in the fight against cancer.

On Valentine’s Day hundreds of childhood cancer advocates joined the Kentucky Pediatric Cancer Research Trust Fund and the @accorg in Frankfort. We are seeking $15 million in funding #whataboutkids #kpcrtf #makeeverydaythebestdayever #davidsadventure #childhoodcancer #advocacy

[Governor Andy Beshear @GovAndyBeshear]

No kid should ever have to experience the trauma of childhood cancer.

That's why we’re making Kentucky a national leader in the fight against this illness. We were one of the first states to include childhood cancer research funding in our budget. And we won't stop there.

[Governor Andy Beshear @GovAndyBeshear]

Tonight the Mansion is lit gold to recognize the children and families affected by childhood cancer. Britainy and I are holding these brave children in our prayers tonight, and we hope you'll join us.

As a dad, I cannot imagine the heartbreak of a family when a child is diagnosed with cancer. Yet, parents like Liz Turner lead with love and strength to help others. @accorg 1/3

[Governor Andy Beshear @GovAndyBeshear]

These families and advocates are heroes in this fight, and I was proud to honor them yesterday and to remember my young friend, David, by declaring May 21 as David Turner Jr. Ice Cream Day and May as Brain Tumor Awareness Month. 2/3

[Governor Andy Beshear @GovAndyBeshear]

Together, we will make Kentucky a national leader in the fight against childhood cancer by raising funds awareness and funds for research. 3/3

It's hard to imagine the fear and heartbreak families face when their child is diagnosed with cancer. Despite the challenges, these kids and their families show bravery and strength. Andy and I were proud to honor those affected for Childhood Cancer Advocacy Day. @accorg

[elizabeth turner @davidjrmom]

@BritainyBeshear @accorg Thank you for your leadership and support!

[Governor Andy Beshear @GovAndyBeshear]

As parents, it's hard to comprehend the pain that comes with a childhood cancer diagnosis. But also as parents, we are committed to being there for these families. Today we recognized Childhood Cancer Research Advocates Day and discussed our efforts to fund research. @accorg
