It seems almost perfect that Miles FINALLY began his participation in a clinical research trial for recurrent Sonic the Hedgehog Medulloblastoma today at Stanford during the month of September - Childhood Cancer Awareness.

💛🎗💛

Perfect because it shows how desperately we need help to advocate for more research for childhood cancer.

💛🎗💛

Cancer is still the leading cause of death by disease in children.

💛🎗💛

This is our “Hail Mary” for Miles. We know any other option won’t work and we don’t know this won’t.

💛🎗💛

We know that the government still only gives 3.8% of their annual funding to pediatric cancer research. 💛🎗💛

We know that on average each chemotherapy drug was approved before 1970 and were not developed for Children’s growing bodies and therefore 95% of survivors have life long medical issues.

💛🎗💛

We know that each bag of chemo Miles has had cost 7k and each pill 2k. Big pharma has banked almost a quarter million off of Miles and it didn’t work.

💛🎗💛

But we don’t know this trial won’t work - so again we leave home, again we sign papers, and again we enter the unknown because we know our medical world must do better. And we want to be a part of the solution.
