President Signs Conquer Childhood Cancer Act
On July 29, 2008, President Bush signed into law the Caroline Pryce Walker Conquer Childhood Cancer Act of 2008. The bill authorizes Congress to allocate $30 million per year for five years to fund collaborative pediatric cancer clinical trials research and improve public awareness of available pediatric cancer treatments. The law is named after Representative Deborah Pryce's (R-OH) nine year old daughter who passed away in 1999 due to neuroblastoma. This expansion of federal investment into pediatric cancer research and education is intended to make a difference in the lives of the approximately 12,000 children that are diagnosed with pediatric cancer each year.
