I’m on Jake Tapper — perhaps at 5:30 ET tonight. Wish me luck as I talk about how Senator Sanders blocked a Senate vote last night for the Mikaela Naylon Give Kids a Chance Act. Senator Sanders demanded that his priorities — primary care programs, be passed at the same time.
Let's give all kids a fighting chance. The House passed it in 2022 & 2024. On Dec. 1, 2025 they unanimously passed it for the 3rd time! Now, the Senate has another Chance to do the right thing...Pass the Mikaela Naylon Give Kids a Chance Act - S. 932.

In an encouraging development, the Senate may be voting on the Mikaela Naylon Give Kids A Chance Act before the holidays! This non-partisan bill comes with no cost(!!!) to tax payers🎗️ - I hope our lawmakers will vote yes to pass this crucial legislation. @kidsvcancer.bsky.social
At the VT house after a day of runs, Avery had a terrible headache. We rushed to the ER in the middle of a whiteout snowstorm. Avery cried. Our lives shattered. No-one could say the the words “terminal cancer.”

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common pediatric cancer, and 75% of ALL cases are in kids under six.
In the 1960s, survival rate for ALL was 10%. Today, it’s OVER 90%.
Why? Research & development of modern chemotherapies like vincristine.

like :…funding cuts to pediatric brain cancer research - and: …the closure of the US Agency for International Development (USAID), caused the expiration and planned incineration of nearly 500 tons of emergency, high-energy biscuits intended for malnourished children in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Modeyso™, the new FDA-approved treatment for a rare and aggressive pediatric brain cancer known as diffuse midline glioma, marks the 18th therapy that Scripps Research scientists have helped advance, thanks in part to two former members of the Janda lab.
Big news from Capitol Hill: The U.S. House unanimously passed the Mikaela Naylon #GiveKidsAChance Act! This bipartisan legislation accelerates pediatric cancer research and expands access to life-saving therapies for children with rare diseases.
16-year-old cancer patient Mikaela Naylon spent her final days lobbying Congress for the pediatric cancer research Give Kids a Chance Act.
Now, it could finally pass.

At the VT family house after a day of long runs, Avery’s headaches returned. Avery would be diagnosed with diffuse midline glioma and our life would shatter.
No-one used the word “terminal,” it was too hard to say.

The thought of making it to the end of the day isn't in the cards for me right now. I'm still taking chemo, but it keeps taking everything away from me. I am 16. I have dreams and aspirations. I want to make sure that others receive a better standard of care.
US Senate: Please Pass the #MikaelaNaylonGiveKidsaChanceAct S932, @sanders.senate.gov @bennet.senate.gov
We are thrilled to report that the House of Representatives will rename the Give Kids a Chance Act: the
Mikaela Naylon Give Kids a Chance Act
and then take a suspension vote.
We will remember you, Mikaela.
