End-of-Year Letter
In 2025, the Mikaela Naylon Give Kids a Chance Act was passed in the House of Representatives.
However, it was blocked in the Senate by Senator Sanders because it did not include his priorities.
In 2026, we plan to:
Press Congress to pass the Mikaela Naylon Give Kids a Chance Act
Bring hundreds of incredible kids to Capitol Hill and introduce the kids to reporters
Since 2009, we have changed the landscape of pediatric cancer drug development. Through our efforts:
Over $9 billion in incentives have been created
Drug companies now study their new cancer drugs in children
Once again we are at the goal line. Let’s get to work.
Nancy
