Dear Vice President Biden:We are the Live Like John Service and Leadership Institute, a group of high school students affiliated with the John McNicholas Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation (livelikejohn.org). Our mission - put simply - is to eradicate pediatric brain cancer.We invite you to join our fight.At his State of the Union speech, President Obama charged you with ensuring that American researchers and doctors find a cure for cancer. We have a team in Chicago assembled and ready to do just that. We can help you achieve your mission.You know firsthand how devastating the diagnosis and outcome of brain tumors can be. We are all tired of hearing about children dying. It’s time to put a stop to this insidious disease. Thanks to our alliance with Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago and Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine, we can find a cure for pediatric brain tumors. Our "Dream Team" (our label - not the doctors') is a groundbreaking collaboration of the best and brightest minds, working together in a single facility with a “bench-to-bedside” protocol to find a cure. Already the team has made significant strides in its research. Our organizations have agreed to donate $1 million dollars to fund the Dream Team so nothing stands in the way of finding a cure. We handed over the first $500,000 last month. Now we need you to join our fight. Your visibility and profile would help us broaden the Dream Team’s base of support. Please add the Lurie/Feinberg Dream team to your Red Folder and consider letting the LLJSLI include you in our “I Fight For” video (attached). LiveLikeJohn - Vice President Biden
