🇺🇸 Our voices belong on Capitol Hill🎗️

This September, during Pediatric Cancer Awareness Month, the Royer family will be heading back to Washington, D.C. for CureFest for Childhood Cancer and Climb the Hill with KIDS V CANCER.

This will be our second year making the trip and this time Avery & Jamison will join other young advocates for Climb the Hill and meet with members of Congress and share their stories in an effort to make pediatric cancer impossible to overlook.

Pediatric cancer research is chronically underfunded, and families deserve better treatment options, better outcomes, and a louder voice in the decisions that impact them.

When we promised to advocate for pediatric cancer at the federal level, WE MEANT IT.

We keep McKenna's light shining bright by showing up, speaking up and fighting for EVERY child. Because all kids deserve a future without cancer.
