Child with alopecia from chemotherapy

When Elon was a kid, survival for ALL, the most common childhood cancer, was <10%

Now it’s >90% due to funded collaboratives (high indirect costs) whose work ultimately SAVES THOUSANDS OF LIVES EVERY YEAR.

For other cancers there’s still so much progress to be made.

I think it’s worth it.

This is what amounts to an ILLEGAL & indiscriminate funding cut for research centers everywhere. It will mean shuttering labs across the country, layoffs in red & blue states, and derailing lifesaving research on everything from cancer to opioid addiction.

We all need to speak out to save lives.
