PAYING TRIBUTE TO MOLLIE SINGER
______
HON. JON C. PORTER
of nevada
in the house of representatives
Wednesday, June 6, 2007
Mr. PORTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Mollie Singer a recent recipient of 12th annual Prudential Spirit of Community Award from Nevada in 2007.
Mollie Singer is currently a senior attending Nevada State High School. At the age of 4, she was diagnosed with diabetes and now it is her goal to vigorously raise money and promote awareness of the disease. Each year Mollie organizes a team to participate in the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation's Walk to Cure Diabetes, her efforts have raised over $100,000 for the foundation. Mollie also organizes luncheons, picnics and other events to collect money for medical research.
In addition to her efforts on behalf of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, Mollie has educated the public by co-authoring a booklet called ``The Road to a Cure'', produced a video diary, and made public announcements. She has also formed a support group for those diagnosed with the disease. For her efforts, Mollie will receive a
$1,000 award along with a silver medallion and a trip to Washington D.C. for her dedication to volunteering for this very worthy cause.
Madam Speaker, I am proud to honor Mollie Singer. Her efforts to raise awareness and find a cure for Diabetes are commendable. I wish Mollie continued success in her efforts.
SENATE COMMITTEE MEETINGS
