CCTR interviews foremost advocate for children with cancer, lawyer, and mom to Jacob, forever 10, 2009, Nancy Goodman. Nancy brings us news of the RACE for Children Act, a reform of the Pediatric Cancer Research Equity Act or PREA which she champions, and it’s to go to both House and Senate 7/14/2016. Nancy is a true problem solver in her can-do approach to lassoing the pharmaceutical industry with incentives to support and fund pediatric cancer research. In her work, Nancy appeals to the intrinsic goodness of people who truly want to help children with cancer, yet are strapped by the system. In “finessing the system”, solutions are found that support other proactive missions to prioritize pediatric cancer research. Also, inside news of the Washington DC Moonshot Taskforce Summit, and that Washington will host the first Pediatric Moonshot Summit, which was news to all of us. Good will, hope, and information on the 2016 Curefest and Summit for the Congressional Caucus for Childhood Cancer are featured.
