                            HON. TOM LATHAM

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 29, 2010

  Mr. LATHAM. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Kevin Geis of 
Ames, Iowa, who is currently in the process of riding his bike to 
Wyoming to raise money for charity.
  Kevin usually rides his bicycle as an escape from work and to stay in 
shape but is now utilizing cycling as a philanthropic tool. Kevin has 
embarked on a 1,200 mile journey from Iowa to Wyoming to raise money 
for the Matthew 25 House located in Ames, Iowa. The Matthew 25 House is 
a faith-based halfway house for former prison inmates. Kevin began his 
adventure on July 23, 2010 and plans on arriving at his final 
destination of Wheatland, Wyoming on August 3, 2010.
  I commend Kevin for putting forth a tremendous effort for the Matthew 
25 House. Kevin should be admired for literally going a great distance 
for a cause he believes in and supports. Kevin is an inspiration to all 
for doing such a selfless act to help, not only the Matthew 25 House 
but also the community as a whole. I am honored to represent Kevin and 
his family in the United States Congress, and I wish him the best of 
luck in this ride and in his future endeavors.
