Why America fails kids with cancer — and why it must change now

The Ahmad Butler Foundation has completed a 179-mile walk from Philadelphia to Washington, D.C., demanding Congress protect pediatric cancer research from proposed federal cuts. https://t.co/SdCjAqqJPC
Honored to meet my constituent Latanya Morrison, who walked 179 miles from Philadelphia to Washington to demand more funding for pediatric cancer research, in memory of her grandson, Ahmad, who died of brain cancer.
I was proud to greet her and her family at the finish line.
💛Latanya & Keith Morrison walk in honor of every child warrior to deliver an uncompromising message to Congress: Do not cut funding that saves lives.
Join the call or cover the arrival! Every step is a promise.

I am an Oncologist.
I treat cancer every single day. 🥼
People often ask for "secret tips" to stay healthy. The truth is, it's not about what you add (supplements), it's about what you remove.
Here are 5 things I will NEVER do, based on science:
1️⃣ Drink alcohol daily.
Alcohol is a Group 1 carcinogen. It breaks down into acetaldehyde, which damages your DNA. It’s not "heart healthy"- it’s a toxin.
2️⃣ Skip SPF on a cloudy day.
UV rays don't care about clouds. Melanoma is aggressive, but it is also highly preventable. ☁️
3️⃣ Ignore a symptom for >2 weeks.
"It's probably nothing" is the most dangerous sentence in medicine. If it’s new and persistent, I get it checked. ⏱️
4️⃣ Eat processed meat.
Bacon and sausages are classified in the same risk category as tobacco. I treat them as a "once a year" item, not a breakfast staple. 🥓
5️⃣ Sit for 4 hours straight.
Sedentary lifestyle drives inflammation. I move. I walk. I stand. 🪑
Your health is an investment. Stop making withdrawals.

We’re walking 179 miles to protect research funding and raise the resources to build the Ahmad Butler Foundation Family Support & Resource Center, because no family should face childhood cancer alone. Now we need you beside us. JOIN THE FIGHT! https://t.co/kiWFxlaB1x #Pediatric
I joined The ABF to join a mission that serves to alleviate children's sufferings and eliminate the heartbreaking experiences no parent should ever face — heartbreak our founders and so many others have already suffered. 💔 Pediatric Cancer cannot live on! https://t.co/HMq3mRGYcO

Hi everyone, did you know the proposed 2026 federal budget includes a 32.7% cut to the National Cancer Institute? Threatening the progress of life-saving pediatric cancer research. Call your congressman and tell them to raise funding, not decrease it! https://t.co/HMq3mRGYcO
@antifederalisms@bluhue123 Well... I guess it is a good thing most Americans felt the same way and voted her away! The election is over and she will soon be irrelevant!
