    When Jill was diagnosed with cancer, doctors gave her 6-12 months to live. They told her the best they could do was keep her alive until a new treatment came along. Luckily, Jill got the treatment she needed through #ClinicalTrials, and she’s still here nine years later.

    Over 750 cancer advocates are heading to Capitol Hill to make cancer a national priority. 💙 At #CancerLobbyDay, they will urge Congress to increase funding for cancer research & prevention and expand access to clinical trials. Learn more: fightcancer.org/news/over-750-… #LightsofHope

    ICYMI: @NPR highlighted our volunteers at #CancerLobbyDay last year & found there's more that unites us than divides us. Cancer advocates from across the country & political spectrum came together on Capitol Hill with one message: cancer impacts us all.

    The House passed a CR to fund the federal gov't through mid-Dec. It included a provision delaying a proposed OMB rule that would change the gov'ts grantmaking framework. We urge Congress to pass a full-year budget that also stops the proposed OMB rule.
