Mikaela Naylon Give Kids a Chance Act
I’m on Jake Tapper — perhaps at 5:30 ET tonight. Wish me luck as I talk about how Senator Sanders blocked a Senate vote last night for the Mikaela Naylon Give Kids a Chance Act. Senator Sanders demanded that his priorities — primary care programs, be passed at the same time.

At the VT house after a day of runs, Avery had a terrible headache. We rushed to the ER in the middle of a whiteout snowstorm. Avery cried. Our lives shattered. No-one could say the the words “terminal cancer.”

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common pediatric cancer, and 75% of ALL cases are in kids under six.
In the 1960s, survival rate for ALL was 10%. Today, it’s OVER 90%.
Why? Research & development of modern chemotherapies like vincristine.

The thought of making it to the end of the day isn't in the cards for me right now. I'm still taking chemo, but it keeps taking everything away from me. I am 16. I have dreams and aspirations. I want to make sure that others receive a better standard of care.
