A Look Back at Gabriella Miller Kids First, with Ellyn Miller
Update: 2023-05-12
Description
We were blessed to begin this show 7 years ago when the very first resolution for childhood brain cancer awareness was introduced into US Congress, the DIPG Awareness Resolution. Our second show featured an interview with Ellyn Miller, CEO of Smashing Walnuts Foundation in Leesburg, VA in honor of her daughter Gabriella who fought DIPG and perished in 2013, just 3 years prior at the time of the interview. You will hear how Gabriella's fight, her advocacy for other children, and her confrontational stance with Congress to take more action for our children led to the Gabriella Miller Kids First Research Act. Today, Ellyn continues her work with advocating for the Gabriella Miller Kids First Research Act 2.0, a new funding mechanism for the highly successful Kids First Program at NIH for childhood disease research. You can learn more about this crucial program for pediatric research at NIH.gov.
