One small step for Ovarian Cancer Research Funding
I received this alert in my email today about more funding for Ovarian Cancer Research.
House Subcommittee Provides $25M for Ovarian Cancer Research
Yesterday the House Appropriations Subcommmittee on Defense marked-up the FY09 defense appropriations bill. According to Chairman Murtha’s statement on the DOD appropriations bill, the bill includes $25M for ovarian cancer research. The bill still has to be approved by the full House Appropriations Committee, the full House of Representatives and the Senate. We have a long way to go, but it is a great start. We wouldn’t have such a great start without your hard work over the last several months urging Members to sign letters in support of an increase, to talk to Chairman Murtha, and to support the increase! (See more about our efforts below.) You’ve called, you’ve e-mailed, you’ve made personal visits and your efforts paid off.
Thank you so very much!
