WASHINGTON D.C. - President Trump asked Congress to join him in the fight against childhood cancer.
He indicated that in his budget, he will be requesting $500 million over the next 10 years to fund critical life-saving research.
United States Senator Shelley Moore Capito noted the Survivorship Treatment Access Research Act does this.
The act, which the president signed into law in June of 2018 claims to enhance the quality of life for childhood cancer survivors and improve efforts in identifying and tracking childhood cancer incidences.
"The thing about childhood cancer is I don't think there is a partisan issue here, I think overwhelmingly everyone would want to find a cure and the best way to do treatments," Capito said.
