Childhood Cancer Research budget cuts...

I need your help....

There have been recent federal budget cutbacks for childhood cancer research. "Rare tumors" is among those to get their budget cut. Hepatoblastoma fits into that category. Without funding and research kids will continue to die.

Please take 10 minutes to visit http://www.curesearch.org/news_and_media/news_article.aspx?id=4470

Read about the cuts, and the impact, and send a letter to your representatives and the president. You can do it right from that website.

After you do that, tell everyone you know to do the same.

Another link that might be interesting to view is this story from ABC. It blatantly states that rare childhood tumors is one of the programs that will have to make cuts. It just made me want to cry and yell at the Bush administration and tell them Kaelyn's story. Just copy and paste this in your browser to watch: http://abcnews.go.com/Video/playerIndex?id=2879611

This is vitally important to so many children and adults who are facing cancer. It is not right that people will die just because of budget cuts.

Thank you so much for taking the time to help save lives. Kaelyn's life is a direct result of what can come about from research and clinical trials. Life is too precious to disregard.

Love you all,

Angie
