(Blog) RACE for Children Act passes in the House

July 12, 2017

Today we share the great news: The RACE for Children Act has just passed in the House of Representatives!

The bill will now move to the Senate. We are very hopeful it will pass soon and reach the President for signature.

Can you feel the excitement?

Because of all your support, calls, letters, visits to Capitol Hill, and sharing of ideas, we are one step closer to bringing better medicines and treatments to children with cancer.

Congress has heard us!

We want to especially thank our sponsors: Representatives Michael McCaul, G.K. Butterfield, and Markwayne Mullin, whose leadership and love for children will bring better health and better lives to kids battling cancer.

Thank you for your support. Let us all continue to RACE to the finish line!

Warmest regards,

The Kids v Cancer Team
