Power of Advocacy: Philadelphia

Check out the link below to an article that appeared in the Philadelphia Daily News. The mother of a three-year-old who was treated for childhood cancer at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and the Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children in Wilmington, DE, (both COG hospitals) contacts political columnist John Baer in regards to Senator Arlen Specter. This is a great example how your voice matters as an advocate for childhood cancer research funding:

As you speak with your Members of Congress regarding the Conquer Childhood Cancer Act or appropriations requests, remember this example! Keep up the good work…and be persistent…in your quest to contact your own Members of Congress.
