Your voice counts — make sure your legislators hear it.
Save Medicaid!
Medicaid plays a crucial role in supporting children with brain tumors. It provides comprehensive health coverage to low-income families, ensuring that children receive crucial medical care without the burden of overwhelming costs. This is vital because treatments for brain tumors, such as surgeries, chemotherapy, and radiation, can be extremely expensive and require long-term follow-up care.
Support the Give Kids a Chance Act!
The Give Kids a Chance Act combines two critical initiatives for drug development for children with cancer — the original Give Kids a Chance Act and the Creating Hope Reauthorization Act.
