I am proud to congratulate Sandra Peebles, a constituent of my congressional district, for her support of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society in its fight to find a cure for these deadly diseases. Susan became involved with the society's team and training with the goal of completing a 13-mile marathon by September 1. Leukemia is the number one killer of children under the age of 15; and with the commitment of individuals like Susan, however, the cure for lymphoma and leukemia will one day become a reality. Susan gets donations from concerned citizens as she runs her marathon on behalf of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. I am proud to know generous and concerned individuals like Susan Peebles who give up their time for such a worthy cause. I ask my congressional colleagues to join me in congratulating Susan Peebles and the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
