HR1533, the childhood cancer bill.

The bill is named for this poor darling who died.

Dr. Thomas Gross remembers one of the goals of an ailing Caroline Pryce Walker when the brave 9-year-old daughter of Rep. Deborah Pryce was battling cancer.

Caroline lost her fight to neuroblastoma in 1999. Today, the U.S. House is expected to approve legislation written by her mother that will go a long way toward achieving the little girl's dream, said Gross, the head of oncology at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus.

Before she died, Caroline told Pryce and her father, Randy Walker, that she had a vision that any child with cancer would have the hope of being cured.
