                     Wednesday, September 14, 2005

  Mrs. CAPITO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the accomplishments 
of a friend and fellow West Virginian, Hersha Arnold, who recently was 
given the prestigious Jerry Maldavir Award by the American Cancer 
Society.
  Hersha has been a tireless advocate for public awareness about the 
risks of cancer, prevention, serving cancer survivors, and many other 
activities. She has been a leader in her local community, the State of 
West Virginia and the South Atlantic region for the American Cancer 
Society.
  In addition to her efforts for the American Cancer Society, Hersha 
has been a diligent volunteer for several causes including running a 
camp for children with cancer and serving as a strong leader for other 
State initiatives.
  Hersha is a wonderful leader in her community and an invaluable asset 
to the efforts of improving cancer awareness in the State of West 
Virginia. We need more people like Hersha to attain the goal of 
eradicating cancer by 2015. It is with great pride that I am able to 
recognize my friend and fellow West Virginian for her significant 
contributions.
