So, there's A LOT of breaking news today. Remember: 1️⃣ It takes time for reporters to gather info, confirm it & then report it. 2️⃣ Bad actors try to spread disinformation preying on people's emotions. 3️⃣ It's better not to share something if you're unsure. #NewsLiteracy

Brain cancer, like most other #ChildhoodCancer, does not end when a child's hair grows back after chemotherapy. Pediatric Brain Cancer is an unmet medical need. Brain Cancer kills more children in the US than any other cancer. Happy Quail CAC2 Amanda Haddock 🧬 Jan Halash 🌻💙💛

How does this equate with "cured?" Not dying can't be good enough, because a life dealing with all of this is not a very easy life. In fact, at times it's torture. Our children deserve to have a life of quality waiting for them after the #treatment is over. #childhoodcancer #CCAM

I sincerely commend Trent Dilfer for opening his heart up while reflecting on what an org like Children's Harbor means to families who are dealing with sick children. Something the Dilfer family understands deeply. It took strength & vulnerability to share this emotion. UAB Football

One of Tyler’s passions, as many know, was pediatric cancer research, and to have his name attached to a center doing that work, in his honor, is absolutely priceless! Purdue Institute for Cancer Research Thank you seems inadequate! Time to get busy!💪🏻🎗️
