Episode Details

A seven-year-old cancer survivor, Mikey Hartnett, is turning his harrowing journey into a mission to reform healthcare access. Born prematurely and diagnosed with medulloblastoma, Mikey endured grueling treatments—including surgeries, chemo, and radiation—that forced his family to relocate. Now cancer-free, he’s traveling to Capitol Hill with his parents to urge lawmakers to fund proton therapy centers near home, eliminating the trauma of travel and displacement for families facing serious illness. With Congressman Vern Buchanan backing the effort, Mikey’s story is rallying support for nationwide access to advanced, life-saving treatments.
