Told in her own words, Sadie Keller's inspiring story will stir the soul of anyone who wants to find hope in the world. After being diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia at age 7, she was worried about whether Santa could deliver toys to all the kids in her hospital, so she started a toy drive. It became a movement that turned into a foundation and a national year-round program that has collected tens of thousands of toys for kids battling cancer. Along the way Sadie met hundreds of "cancer kids" and ended up having to say goodbye to some of her closest friends.
To help save other children, Sadie headed to Capitol Hill and teamed up with Congressman Michael McCaul. She became his favorite lobbyist and helped to pass the STAR Act that directed millions of dollars of research aimed at sparking next-level cures for childhood cancer.

"At a time when you think nothing useful can get done in government, when the country seems completely divided, when you think that nothing but money drives whatever goes on in Washington, you just need to listen to Sadie." Congressman Michael McCaul
Congressman Michael T. McCaul is currently serving his eighth term representing Texas' 10th District in the United States Congress. The 10th Congressional District of Texas.
