ADVOCACY HIGHLIGHT

Advocacy in Action : Fighting for a Cure

At a Ways and Means Committee hearing, Congressman Brendan Boyle amplifies our fight, sharing Latanya’s 179-mile walk and the work we’ve been leading alongside his office to advance the Ahmad Butler Pediatric Cancer Hope for a Cure Act and push to have pediatric cancer declared a national health emergency.

In response, HHS Secretary Kennedy pledged to work with Congressman Boyle to help make this a reality.

This is how we fight. We fight for families. We fight for change. We will continue fighting until there is a cure for pediatric cancer.

Latanya Morrison

Co-Founder & Co-Host

Latanya Morrison is the Founder and Executive Director of the Ahmad Butler Foundation, founded in honor of her late grandson, Ahmad “Captain Poodaman” Butler, whose courageous battle with pediatric cancer became the inspiration behind her life’s mission of advocacy, compassion, and hope.

While rushing Ahmad to the hospital during one of the hardest moments of his battle, Latanya feared he might not survive the car ride. In that moment, Ahmad told his grandmother that when he grew up, he wanted to become a police officer so he could “help a lot of people.” Although Latanya knew in her heart that Ahmad would never reach adulthood, she made him a silent promise that his name, his fighting spirit, and his purpose would live on to “help a lot of people.”

That promise became her life’s mission.

After losing Ahmad, Latanya never expected to enter the nonprofit and advocacy world, but grief transformed her pain into purpose, and her promise into a mission to “help a lot of people”. Today, she continues to honor Ahmad’s legacy by fighting for children and families battling pediatric cancer and other life-threatening childhood diseases through advocacy, outreach, and national initiatives.

Latanya is also the Founder, Co-Creator, Co-Host, and Producer of A Hope for a Cure Podcast, where she personally produces and edits each episode to create a safe and compassionate space for families, survivors, caregivers, and advocates to share their lived experiences openly and honestly. She believes storytelling is therapeutic and that keeping the voices and memories of these children alive brings healing not only to grieving families, but to entire communities.

Latanya believes it is important not only to remember the children who lost their battles but also to honor the children who fought bravely, support the children who are still fighting, and advocate for the children who will one day face this battle. She remains deeply committed to making a difference for the children who fight these battles and for the families who carry the weight of those battles with them.

Latanya often says she is not only walking in her purpose, but she is also walking in her promise. And while advocacy is her mission, the greatest title she will ever wear is being a grandmother, especially the grandmother of a Superhero.”
