I wanted to share this wonderful news about the Conquer Childhood Cancer Bill. THE BILL HAS BEEN SIGNED. After passing unanimously in the House and Senate it went to the President. In the Oval Office, surrounded by victims of childhood cancer and their families, President Bush signed the Conquer Childhood Act into law on July 29, 2008. Quote from one news article: "...the president told Representative Pryce he was looking forward to telling his parents that he got to sign the pediatric-cancer bill into law."
I am hoping that this will open many doors in the future into childhood cancer awareness and research.
Link to the White House Photo release. On the right there is one more photo. The photo of the young girl on President Bush's desk is Caroline Walker for whom the bill was named. http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2008/07/images/20080729_d-0242-7-515h.html
