The following was written by our dear friend Sadie's Mom. Today is Sadie's 2nd birthday and we would love to honor her by doing exactly what she requests:
HAPPY 2nd BIRTHDAY, SADIE!! We're going to celebrate our sweet little girl's birthday tonight with Elmo cake and her favorite foods. I can't believe that we started her cancer journey over a year ago. She was diagnosed March 17, 2007. What a year this has been -- our emotions have run the gamut as she's gone through her surgeries, treatments, and scans. But, luckily, one thing has remained constant -- her sweet energy and zest for life. We sure do love our Sadie!!
In honor of Sadie's 2nd birthday, I'm going to make a request of everyone reading this . There is legislation in the Senate right now for the Conquer Childhood Cancer Act. This will provide 150 million dollars over 5 years dedicated just to childhood cancer in order to expand childhood cancer research, create a national childhood cancer registry to track pediatric cancer, and increase services to patients and families affected by the disease. There are 52 senators that support this bill right now and we need 8 more to reach 60, which would make a majority to help pass this landmark legislation.
Please honor Sadie, as well as those children that have been fighting for their lives for years by taking 5 minutes to e-mail senators that are NOT yet co-sponsors. Here is a list of states that need sponsors:
Alabama (2), Alaska (2), Arizona (2), Colorado (2), Florida (2), Idaho (2), Iowa (2), Kansas (1), Louisiana (1), Maine (2), Mississippi (1), Missouri (2), Montana (2), Nevada (1), New Hampshire (2), North Dakota (2), Ohio (1), Oklahoma (2), Oregon (1), South Carolina (1), South Dakota (1), Tennessee (2), Texas (1), Utah (2), Virginia (1), West Virginia (2), Wisconsin (2), Wyoming (2)

there is a link that says "Send a letter to your Member of Congress..." On the next screen click "Send a letter to your elected officials", type in your zip code and click "Go", then click on "The Conquer Childhood Cancer Act S911" link in the Action Alert box. This will bring up a form email that you'll be able to personalize as you wish. Thanks for your support!!

I just sent my senators letters...thank you for this. My husband is a childhood cancer survivor and this hits home to us!
Thank-you!
What a precious little girl you have! A dear friend of mine has a 9 year old with a Medullablastoma and receiving treatment at Johns Hopkins. I will pray for you and your little one. I must add, please do not feed your child sugar-as cancers favorite food and cell multiplier is SUGAR!! May God Bless you and your family! Stacy
What an important post! I have passed this on to others to read as well. Our friend has just found out her 3 year old is starting the fight as well. We must do all we can to support these amazing children. What a beautiful girl! Melissa C
