The mother of Chad Carr, the grandson of former Michigan football coach Lloyd Carr who died at age 5 in 2015 of a rare form of pediatric cancer, spoke in front of a House committee Wednesday urging lawmakers to stop President Trump's proposed budgets cuts to the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
“When I hear about those potential cuts to the NIH, it just hits me right in the gut. There have been such great strides made around pediatric cancers, such as leukemia, because bright minds were asked to focus on treatments and they were given the resources necessary to do so,” Tammi Carr, the founder of Chad Tough Foundation, told the House of Representatives Oversight Committee.
