Act Now – Urge Your Representatives to Support Increased Cancer Research Funding
The president’s recently released budget proposal includes increases of just 3.2 percent for NIH and 3.16 percent for NCI. Advocates are urged to contact their legislators and urge them to increase both NIH and NCI’s budget by 13.5 percent; increases of $4.2 billion for NIH and $691 million for NCI. Please contact your elected official now!
As most of my readers already know, the NIH is responsible for finally giving Gary an accurate diagnosis AND he also participated in a clinical trial at the NIH since his form of lymphoma is so very rare. It takes places like the NIH, that solely rely on government funding, to help get us closer to a cure for cancer.
The NIH is a fabulous place with some very talented individuals that know their shit! 
Even though Gary is no longer with us I feel the need to help advocate for proper funding for the NIH.
I urge all of my readers to click on the link below. It’ll take you to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s website and you just need to plug in some contact info in a form and they’ll take care of notifying your representatives. It’s THAT easy.
