“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate an amazing constituent of mine for his talent and perseverance. From 2003 to 2008, Mick Schultz from Kimball, Minnesota, was a professional snowmobile racer. In 2008, while competing at a national snocross race, Mike was in a snowmobile accident that resulted in the loss of his left leg. After such a devastating experience, no one would have thought less of Mike if he stopped competing, but Mike Schultz did not give up. Instead, he was racing again at the national level in less than 8 months. Over the past 10 years, Mike has earned eight gold medals at the X Games in adaptive motocross. Mike would not allow his accident to keep him from sharing his talent and spirit with the world. Mike's talent, however, is not limited to racing snowmobiles. In 2010, Mike began snowboarding as research for his company, BioDapt, which develops prosthetic equipment for athletes. This led him to compete as a member of the U.S. Snowboarding team. He is now in his fourth season. As if all of his other accomplishments are not enough, Mike is now a Kellogg's cereal celebrity. Over the years, immensely talented athletes have graced boxes of Frosted Flakes, and we are proud that this year Mike joins the ranks. I am honored to congratulate Mike on all of his incredible accomplishments and his recognition by Kellogg's. Mike is proof of what a person can accomplish when he confronts life's challenges head-on. Mike is a winner and an example to us all.…”
