Thank you to our donor of the week, the Damiano family! Their Friends Helping SickKids 'Saturday Night Fever Disco' event has raised $2M+ in support of cancer research & care at @SickKidsNews. We're so grateful for their commitment to children's health. 💙 https://t.co/wGehJ6rLtM
@TylerDinucci Yup. Reaction so far has been pretty positive across the political spectrum.. I bet a few Conservative MPs are comparing the speech to Pollievre’s tweet earlier today about, again, the carbon tax, and wondering exactly how their party is meeting the moment the country is in…
On this week’s episode of the #SickKidsVS Podcast, hear how Santiago’s journey, a family’s brave decision, and a team of relentless researchers at @SickKidsNews helped rewrite the future of leukemia care: https://t.co/EI1GYiHP85

Canada is home to world-class scientists and researchers. We have a unique opportunity to recruit top US talent amid their recent major research cuts.
What's our plan?

@TylerDinucci Lots of people canceling trips to the US (myself included). Boycotts of US products. Policy decisions that have been debated for decades without action suddenly surging forward. In that context, huge swings in political preference are a lot more plausible.
Trump honoring a child with brain cancer tonight and then leading a standing ovation for him while simultaneously eliminating all spending for child cancer research is a perfect encapsulation of MAGA morality.
Amazing outcomes for children with ALL in this trial Congratulations to @Zen_Sumit of @SickKidsNews and the @COGorg

Jesse Marsch is outspoken on 51st state rhetoric.
"It's unsettling and frankly insulting... as an American, I'm ashamed of the arrogance and disregard we've shown one of our historically oldest, strongest and most loyal allies."
@TylerDinucci It’s unprecedented in recent Canadian politics! Carney does have significant weaknesses though so remains to be seen what happens in a general election campaign. And if tariffs go in. And if Pollievre can actually act prime ministerial instead of like a bully. So who knows!

Congratulations on their great work to improve children’s quality of life during a continuous 28-day infusion! Nurse Educators Alia Petropoulos & Lisa Honeyford wrote about their experience creating the blinatumomab backpack in the new POGO Nursing Newsletter. Read the story here: https://t.co/QniQmbPMQF
A recent @COGorg study co-chaired by POGO board member @Zen_Sumit, shows that adding #Blinatumomab to standard therapy increases disease-free survival up to 97.5 per cent for pediatric B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL), the most common #ChildhoodCancer. New drugs and therapies are vital to saving lives and ensuring thriving futures for kids with cancer. POGO and partners are committed to improving timely and equitable access to evolving diagnostics and therapeutics. As part of Ontario’s new #ChildhoodCancerCarePlan developed by POGO, we will help to bring evidence-based treatments to children with cancer faster.
