Tragic news. We’re losing trials here in Pittsburgh. Sad that as a society we can’t prioritize vulnerable children with brain cancer. @KDKA @PittsburghPG

Make no mistake — the reason cancer research is on the chopping block now is because the Trump administration is looking for money to give the tax breaks to billionaires. And why not pay for it on the backs of….kids with cancer !?!?!

I've also attached a clip from the Sacha Baron Cohen movie "The Dictator"

Imagine the words, "Your child has cancer..." Is there a cure? The answer to that depends entirely on research done before that moment, funded by people like YOU. Please support me in shaving my beautiful hair! @StBaldricks @ChildrensPgh @PedsHemeOncPGH

Actually… the fun fact I always share with the @residentsofchp is that I actually have a degree in atmospheric science. Maybe @kdka needs a pediatric oncologist/meteorologist? #supernerd

Since it's no longer"Heinz" field, use that spare money to make a difference! How about the "Heinz Pediatric Blood and Cancer Disorder Center" @PedsHemeOncPGH? You could make an impact in children's lives! How about it @KraftHeinzCo? @KDKA @ChildrensPgh @steelers @TribLIVE

We told that our 6 yo “may” be able to get a bunny for her fall birthday. I found this list today… I’d say this is close to the definitive bunny name list #bunny #teamnibbler
