Our End-of-Year Letter to Friends and Family:
In 2026, we plan to:
Ask Congress to pass the Mikaela Naylon Give Kids a Chance Act.
Support implementation of the Mikaela Naylon Give Kids a Chance Act, once it passes.
Continue our Climb the Hill program in which we bring hundreds of incredible kids, young adults and their siblings to Capitol Hill to talk about their experiences with pediatric cancer.
In 2009, Jacob died and we founded Kids v Cancer. Through our efforts:
Over $9 billion in incentives for pediatric drug development have been created.
Drug companies are now required to study their new adult cancer drugs in children’s cancers.
Once again we are at the goal line. This New Year, we start again. Let’s get to work.
