My 9 year old daughter was diagnosed with DIPG on 12/18/2024. To sit in a room full of doctors and listen to them tell you “there is no cure. Surgery is not an option. Chemo is not an option. Nothing works for this tumor” is a punch to the gut you never recover from. To watch the Super Bowl ad by Pfizer was a slap in the face to everyone facing childhood cancer because we all know that there aren’t many options for most of our cases. Kinlee deserves more. She is a precious little girl who loves life. This tumor and big pharma companies are trying to rob her and so many other children of their chance at living life. We will not stop u til we are heard! Follow her journey on FB: Kinlee’s Krew
Mi hijo Emanuel falleció en el 2021 en plena pandemia por el DIPG. No es raro! Y no merecemos ser utilizados solo porque ustedes generan dinero. Cuando los niños siguen siendo diagnosticados y nada cambia. BASTA YA!!
I have lost too many young boys and girls to cancer in my life that I feel obligated to sign the petition, and Pfizer should be ashamed of themselves. That’s all I have to say!
My forever 7 year old child passed away because of no options nothing more they could do. Our children deserve much better than this. Without funding there is no cure. Our children are dying. A brain tumor DIPG after 60 years of research and still standard treatments ? We must do better
My 13 year old Anna died from osteosarcoma after fighting 4 years. The drugs used were 30+ years old and she had to endure a partial leg amputation. These drugs did not work for her, as us the case in too many cases if osteosarcoma. She had nothing left to try. Don't use our children's faces to get positive PR then spend next to nothing on pediatric cancer research!
My son was 2 when he was diagnosed with Ewing Sarcoma. We were told “there not a lot of information about it but we will do our best with a standardized treatment plan” the medications he received were atrocious and the side effects caused him more pain and discomfort than the cancer. Do better, children are the future!
My son Jackson was diagnosed with a Ewing Sarcoma at the age of 5. My husband and I were 38 years old at his time of diagnosis. All of the toxic chemotherapy he received was older than us. Our children deserve updated treatment for all childhood cancers. Use our story for spreading awareness for funding and research for childhood cancers.
My six-year-old niece died of a DIPG brain tumor. Neil Armstrong’s daughter had the same diagnosis in 1962 and there still is not a cure for this. This is completely unacceptable. There are very few trials and as of now, there is no cure. Only the radiation can help prolong their life for a few months because it shrinks the tumor. Please start investing more money on trials and drugs that will help cure childhood cancer! Let’s start with the most aggressive and then go from there. These children deserve to have live a long, healthy life.
I loss my daughter of DIPG cancer because there is No option- No cure for this. I believed Pfizer can do better. If you put out the money for Super Bowl, you can do better research to come up with childhood cancer especially DMG/DIPG. Put your money where your mouth is.
