Dressed in gold, with a view of the White House! 🎗️

Nick and his mom, Millie’s Grandma Pat, represented the Mighty Millie Foundation at the Golden Toast, celebrating alongside families, survivors, nonprofit partners, and congressional leaders.

For 15 years, this gathering has recognized a community that works to keep childhood cancer a priority in Washington. These advocates share their stories, meet with lawmakers, and press for legislation that gives children better treatment options. They return, year after year, because families cannot afford for progress to stall.

This year, there was a significant accomplishment to celebrate: the passage of the Mikaela Naylon Give Kids A Chance Act. This law empowers the FDA to require companies to study combinations of cancer treatments in children and renews incentives to develop medicines for rare pediatric diseases. The evening also honored Congressman Michael McCaul as he prepares to retire, 17 years after founding the Congressional Childhood Cancer Caucus and helping advance legislation for children with cancer.

Behind these milestones are years of persistence, partnership, and families willing to turn their most personal experiences into a public call for change. We’re proud to be part of that work.

An evening worth celebrating, made even sweeter with Millie’s Grandma Pat by Nick’s side. 💛

Yesterday was a significant day for the Mighty Millie Foundation. đź’›

Nick had the opportunity to visit the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland, and meet with Dr. Javed Khan and Dr. Jun Wei at the National Cancer Institute to see rhabdomyosarcoma research we’re helping fund firsthand.

To step inside the lab, speak directly with the scientists, and learn how their work could lead to new treatment options was an extraordinary opportunity. Their team is studying the genetic makeup of rhabdomyosarcoma cells to better understand what drives this disease and where it may be vulnerable to treatment.

Mighty Millie Foundation and Rally Foundation for Childhood Cancer Research have each contributed $25,000 to a $50,000 project led by Dr. Wei to advance an FGFR4-targeted therapy toward clinical use. The goal is to attack cancer cells while minimizing harm to healthy cells. For children who need better treatment options, this is the kind of research we are committed to helping move forward.

Nick also met Dr. David Milewski, who will be starting his own lab at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in January.

This visit connected the generosity of our community with the scientific work it supports. We’re deeply grateful to Dr. Khan and Dr. Wei for sharing their time and progress, and to everyone who makes it possible for us to invest in research in Millie’s honor.

Together forever.đź’›

Day 1 on Capitol Hill đź’›

Nick, our Executive Director and Millie’s dad, is in Washington, D.C., sharing her story and advocating for children with cancer.

Today began at the Childhood Cancer Caucus event led by Congressman Michael McCaul, where researchers, lawmakers and families shared meaningful perspectives on advancing childhood cancer care.

Nick also visited Representative Loudermilk’s office to ask for his support of the Ailani Myers AIM to Cure Kids with Cancer Act. This bipartisan bill would strengthen childhood cancer data sharing and advance the use of AI to accelerate research and improve treatment options.

We’re grateful to stand alongside fellow advocates and for the friends, donors and partners who support this mission.

Millie is at the heart of why we’re here. Every child still waiting for a cure is why we keep going.

“I am changing the world.” -Millie Mracek💛

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month in Georgia.

Claire and Nick had the honor of joining Georgia Governor Brian Kemp, First Lady Marty Kemp, and childhood cancer families and advocates at the State Capitol for the official proclamation recognizing September as Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.

Nick shared about the Mighty Millie Popsicle Project and the small moments of big joy it is creating at 182 childhood cancer treatment locations nationwide.

Most importantly, we heard from survivors, children still fighting, and fellow bereaved parents about why this month matters so deeply and why continued awareness, research, and support are so important.

A special thank you to Rally Foundation for Childhood Cancer Research, Stefanie McKinney, and David Fige for bringing our community together and organizing this meaningful event.

We are proud to Shine Gold this September and invite you to shine bright with us all month long. đź’›
