Meeting format:
- Group facilitator gives background to H. Res. 404, now in its 4th Congress, majority of signatures last session, hoping for passage for our children this session to raise urgently needed awareness, and to attract a cure and more expedient diagnosis/treatment access process.
- Attendees share their experience with DIPG/childhood brain cancer and give their personal perspective on the importance of awareness.
- We support ALL Childhood Cancer Legislation or Childhood Disease/Treatment related policies. If the aide asks, “What else would you like us to look at?” our #1 and #2 go-tos are:
Gabriella Miller Kids First Research Act 2.0 (HR 623)
Fairness to Kids With Cancer Act of 2021 (HR 2210)
