The story of Maia and Ariana Barton, now 24 and 22 respectively, is a powerful testament to the resilience and determination that can emerge from life's most challenging circumstances. Both sisters were diagnosed with cancer at different times in their lives, and while their journeys were difficult, they have since become passionate advocates for pediatric cancer research through their family's chosen organization, Curing Kids Cancer (CKC).
At just eight years old, Maia was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL B-cell). The next two and a half years were a whirlwind of tests, procedures, and the emotional rollercoaster that accompanies a cancer diagnosis. Despite her young age, Maia's curiosity drove her to learn about her treatment, laying the foundation for her future goal of becoming a pediatric cancer nurse.
“I was a very curious child during my cancer treatment," Maia recalls. "I was always asking things like ‘What’s this?’ or ‘What are you doing now?’ I think my doctor appreciated my interest because not many kids understand what’s happening during their treatment.”
Though Maia went into remission, the effects of her treatment lingered into adulthood, becoming especially poignant when her younger sister, Ariana, began to show symptoms of cancer a decade later.
At 18, just after graduating high school and preparing for a gap year in Israel, Ariana noticed unusual bruising on her legs. Her family urged her to get cleared by a doctor before her trip. Days before Maia was set to return to college, Ariana was diagnosed with T-cell ALL, a different form of leukemia.'
"Scottish Rite Hospital called both my parents," Ariana said. "My mom didn't tell me exactly what was going on, but I knew something was wrong."
Ariana's journey, while similar to Maia’s, brought its own set of challenges, including surgeries and complications specific to T-cell leukemia. Despite these obstacles, Ariana found strength in her family and shared oncologist, Dr. Lu, at Scottish Rite. Three years later, she joined Maia in remission.
Throughout their battles, Maia and Ariana's family was a pillar of support. During these trying times, the Barton family reached out to Curing Kids Cancer (CKC) for guidance and assistance.
The support they received from CKC was invaluable, helping them navigate the complexities of treatment and the emotional toll of their daughters' diagnoses. This connection with CKC not only provided comfort during a difficult time but also inspired the Bartons to give back to the organization that had supported them so deeply.
Inspired by their daughters' resilience and the assistance they received from CKC, Alyssa Barton decided to take action during Ariana's treatment in 2019. She rallied their community to support pediatric cancer research by creating the Ride 4 Research fundraiser, an annual event that brings the community together to raise money for childhood cancer research through cycling and fitness classes.
“It makes me proud to know that I’m part of something that makes a difference like this,” Maia said. “It’s incredible that so many people want to support our family’s cause.”
Since its inception in 2019, Ride 4 Research has raised over $190,000 for pediatric cancer research and treatments across the United States.
This year, the Barton family will host their annual Ride 4 Research event on September 14. The event continues to unite the community in their mission to fund lifesaving research, driven by the inspiring story of Maia and Ariana Barton, and their deep connection to CKC.

Dear Representative ___:
As an independent automobile dealer from the state of ___ and your constituent, I am writing to urge you to cosponsor H.R. 1566, the Right to Equitable and Professional Auto Industry Repair (REPAIR) Act. This bipartisan bill was introduced by Representatives Neal Dunn (R-FL) and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D-WA) and currently has 30 cosponsors.
As the cost of vehicle ownership and maintenance continues to rise, the REPAIR Act comes at a critical moment. This legislation removes unnecessary barriers and ensures independent repair shops can access essential repair data, compatible aftermarket parts, training, and diagnostic tools. For independent automobile dealers like me, this means being able to efficiently recondition vehicles before sale and provide affordable, ongoing repairs throughout a vehicle's life. These efficiencies translate into real savings for our customers, many of whom are working-class individuals and families who rely on their vehicles for work, school, and daily responsibilities. This is especially true for our rural customers, who deserve access to timely, affordable repairs close to home.
Modern vehicles are increasingly complex and dependent on data. Yet for too long, Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) have controlled access to this critical information, selectively deciding who can use it and under what conditions. This control extends to aftermarket parts, often forcing consumers to seek repairs only at authorized dealerships. These practices reduce consumer choice, stifle competition, and undermine the free-market principles that support small businesses and local economies across the state of ___.
Your constituents and my customers deserve the freedom to choose where and by whom their vehicles are repaired. Equal access to tools and information ensures safe, cost-effective, and accessible repairs. It fosters competition, lowers prices, and strengthens small businesses like mine. The REPAIR Act strikes the right balance between protecting innovation, ensuring safety, and upholding consumer rights.
This important legislation is critical to the livelihoods of independent automobile dealers across the state of ___ and urge you to consider cosponsoring it. Thank you for your time and attention.
Sincerely,
