On the recordFebruary 10, 2016
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to urge south Floridians to join me at the Dolphins Cancer Challenge on Saturday, February 20. The Dolphins Cancer Challenge raises money for the University of Miami's Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center to help ``tackle cancer''--to the tune of $11.5 million since its inception in 2010. This event was inspired by Jim ``Mad Dog'' Mandich, whom we see pictured here, whom we tragically lost to cancer nearly 5 years ago. A champion both on and off the field, the ``Mad Dog'' was a key contributor for the still-perfect and still-peerless, undefeated 1972 Miami Dolphins. But Jim was perhaps best known and loved for his broadcasting work, where he cheered our own Dolphins with his patented ``Alright Miami.'' So please ride, run, or walk with me at the Dolphins Cancer Challenge to help support Sylvester's innovative cancer care. ____________________
