The B+ Blog
Check out our blog to get monthly updates about all things B+ from our President and Co-Founder, Joe McDonough.
Spreading the Word
Last week, I traveled to Washington, DC last week for our “Alliance Action Days”. We brought together over 200 family advocates from across the country.
Impatient for Progress
I am literally in the air right now on my way back home from Brussels. As you may recall, The Andrew McDonough B+ Foundation is the lead sponsor of this exciting initiative that brings together Regulators (FDA, EMA, etc.), Industry (Pharma), Researchers (pediatric oncologists), and Advocates (like us).
Something for everyone
In this update, there’s a little bit of something for everyone from research to family stories to prevention to awareness. Thanks for taking the time to read.
Planes, Trains, & Automobiles
What a cute little guy! Don’t you just love those eyes? Please read Leif’s “About Me” page below. I think this ice cream sundae beats “pink medicine” any day.
Super Busy Week!
Norah, I hope you have the long hair you desire soon, but in the meantime, you are ROCKING the head scarf!!!
Something for Everyone
I hope everyone had a nice Easter, Passover, or Ramadan. In today’s update, there truly is something for everyone.
Join Us in DC
Every year, under the leadership of two collaborative childhood cancer groups that The B+ Foundation is a part of (Alliance for Childhood Cancer, Coalition Against Childhood Cancer), we head to Washington, DC to meet our federally-elected officials to give a voice to our brave kids fighting childhood cancer.
Travel Season Has Begun
Thank you all for the kind comments on Andrew’s recent birthday. It’s so bittersweet that we got to have 14 amazing birthdays with him and have suffered through 16 without him.

Delaware Senate Passes HB 23!
Thanks to the efforts of former Charter School of Wilmington student Minnie Proud initiating a bill (HB 23) with Kim Williams State Representative, 19th District, I had the privilege of speaking to the Delaware General Assembly about childhood cancer, The Andrew McDonough B+ Foundation, and my son, Andrew.
A Truly Memorable Week!
After spending 12 hours at Villanova on Saturday, we headed to The Bob Carpenter Center at the University of Delaware on Sunday for UDance 2019!
Man, There's a LOT Going On!!!
I want to keep you updated on the discussions stemming from President Trump’s State of the Union Address about increased funding for the fight against childhood cancer. As you may recall, he proposed an incremental $500MM over the next 10 years.
A Whole Lot of Random Stuff :)
Once again, my apologies for not posting more frequently. It's been a busy start to the year here at The Andrew McDonough B+ Foundation.
