i got a call last week from a ced member who has presented on ways we have been getting together for many years. ms. lim: that is great. on that optimistic note -- mmigration in our conferences, they could not be here today. she is from a venezuela and has a successful money-management firm. here is her thought, i will give her all the credit. it is widely regarded that it costs in this country to under $50,000 to raise a child from the ages of zero to 18, that higher education costs another $250,000. the investment to raise a child from zero to higher education is about half 1 million. since 1990, we have allowed into this country about one million immigrants a year. she says, how would you like to save $1 trillion in investment? you could save $1 trillion in investment, half $1 million by increasing immigration to 200,000 people a year into this country at the skill set and education levels. we could save $1 trillion a year in investment by expanding our immigration by 200,000. she ncreasing immigration to wanted me to leave you with that thought. please join me in thanking.

the ced and learning about the ability to pass the blood brain barrier with a catheter, part of the clinical trial that chad was a part of, if we really focused, i feel like, even raising the bar from 0% to 2% is movement in the right direction, and we've seen just at michigan alone, a lot of researchers are now -- because we're willing to provide some funding, and there's a big room to increase success rates there, that they are looking, you know, young scientists are now interested in looking into this disease, and that's a really wonderful thing. you know, we talked about clinical trials being important. a lot of children with dipg, chad was one of the lucky ones who was able to participate in a clinical trial. a lot of the children, they don't meet the requirements, and they are not even able to participate, and as a parent, i tell you one thing, when you are basically deciding on the treatment plan for your doctor, because that's what this is. the doctors don't know what to tell you. radiation is the only thing they know to tell you, which we know now, causes secondary problems. if they
