Julie is an old and dear friend of mine. I have known her since 8th grade (and I'm now almost 40 years old!) She has a 9 year old daughter, Josie, who was just diagnosed with cancer and is currently undergoing treatment. When we heard that Josie was sick we wanted to do anything we could to help. Unfortunately, all we could do was pray for Josie and her family. Then I found this information online. Please take a few minutes needed to help and then spread the word to increase awareness.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 Josie, as well as those children that have been fighting for their lives for years by taking 5 minutes to e-mail your senator. If you go to this site:

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!
