“Without access to clinical trials, children with brain cancer may lose their best chance at survival.”

“I will be losing my job as a result of the NCI’s budget cuts. As a military spouse, it is often difficult to find stable, meaningful work. My position was more than a job — it was a calling.

It allowed me to contribute to lifesaving research for children with brain tumors while supporting my husband’s service to our country. But the main impact is not on me — it’s on the children with brain cancer who, without access to critical clinical trials, may lose their best chance at survival.”
