WASHINGTON, D.C. - Head coach Brenda Frese recently reached out to Rep. Elijah Cummings about an important issue surrounding cancer patients and her son, Tyler, who is fighting leukemia.

During Tyler's treatment, Frese learned that many patients cannot get vital medicines because drug companies do not return a big enough profit on them.

She wrote a letter to Rep. Cummings, hoping someone would be able to make the pharmaceutical companies change their ways. Cummings and his staff launched an investigation that was released today.
