                       HONORING THE WOOLF FAMILY

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. GEORGE RADANOVICH

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, March 29, 2000

  Mr. RADANOVICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the Woolf family 
for maintaining an unwavering commitment to the Juvenile Diabetes 
Foundation. The family was recognized at the Promise Ball 2000, in 
Fresno, on March 25, 2000.
  The Juvenile Diabetes Foundation was founded in 1970 by parents of 
children with diabetes. The mission of the Foundation is to find a cure 
for diabetes and its complications, through the support of research. 
Since 1970, the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation has provided over $326 
million for diabetes research, more than any other nonprofit, 
nongovernmental health agency in the world.
  The Woolf family, a prominent farming family, has two diabetic 
children. Having been touched by diabetes, the Woolf family has been 
diligent in helping others to understand the challenges facing families 
with diabetes, as well as spreading the word about the progress toward 
a cure.
  Mr. Speaker, I want to honor the Woolf family for their tireless 
commitment to the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation. I urge my colleagues to 
join me in wishing the Woolf family many more years of continued 
success.
