Political Quotes

“I would like to recognize the Live Like Bella Foundation for Childhood Cancer, an organization based in my home district of Miami. Inspired by Bella Rodriguez-Torres, a young girl who courageously fought cancer six times until her death last year, this foundation supports the fight against pediatric cancer, while offering much-needed support for families. Cancer is the number one cause of death in children under the age of 15. Live Like Bella is dedicated to raising funds for innovative cancer research at Miami Children's Hospital. During National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, the foundation will host its first annual Bella's Ball, where Miami will dress up in golden shimmer and shine in memory of Bella and in order to create awareness of childhood cancer. The event enjoys broad support from Miami celebrities, such as Jon Secada, and athletes like Eddy ``The Jet'' Alvarez, as well as from many local businesses. I encourage everyone in our south Florida community to attend this event on Saturday, September 13, which supports a wonderful cause in need of greater public attentiveness. ____________________”
