2 years ago today,
my 9yo son Eli, died from #ChildhoodCancer.
He was perfectly healthy until he fell down at school, taken to the ER, and diagnosed with a #DIPD brain tumor, which is 100% fatal.
Not all kids live.
Support @CureStartsNow and other non-profits.
#LoveforEli 🧡
Huge shoutout to our dedicated Michigan volunteers who are taking meaningful action to protect survivors of domestic violence from our nation’s gun violence crisis. #MILeg#MomsAreEverywhere#KeepGoing https://t.co/XJpmK3hyMw
Although cancer in children is rare compared with cancers typically diagnosed in adults, #cancer is still the leading cause of death from disease in this age group.
Review the findings of new childhood cancer study: https://t.co/1vB1T71f5L #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth
Childhood cancer is a waking nightmare. @SenErikaGeiss' daughter was diagnosed w/ synovial sarcoma last yr, & last week, the Senator intro'd a resolution recognizing Sept as #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth — for her daughter & the 15,000+ kids nationwide diagnosed each year. #CCAM
Did you know AZ has the 14th highest rate of gun suicides in the US? 68% of all gun deaths in AZ are suicides. Call or text 988 or chat https://t.co/7H1MmEi9em if you or someone you know is having suicide thoughts, a mental health or substance abuse crisis, or emotional distress.
This article stuck with me, so I wrote about it: “We need Republican, Christian, gun-owning white women to get off the sidelines. Not to change the hearts and minds of right-wing lawmakers, but to advocate and vote in solidarity with Black women.”

Imagine that one of these beautiful children - all shot to death last night at Michigan State University - belonged to you.
As long as there are guns everywhere, our children aren’t safe anywhere.
Don’t sit on the sidelines. We need every voice and vote. Text ACT to 644-33
For some on the MSU campus, this was not their first experience with a mass shooting. While gun violence can feel inescapable, it is NOT inevitable. Join us to demand that our lawmakers and the gun industry take action to save lives. Text STUDENTS to 644-33.
Amazing Advocacy Day in Arizona with @momsdemand and @studentsdemand volunteers, celebrating the election of gun sense champion @GovernorHobbs and four of our volunteers to the statehouse. Grateful to @JenLongdon for already dropping a secure storage bill this session. #azleg
