                          HON. JAMES A. HIMES

                      Wednesday, November 16, 2011

  Mr. HIMES. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the participants 
of a 3,250 mile race across the United States organized to promote 
natural health care options. Called The Run, this is the first-ever 
endurance event organized to raise awareness about naturopathic 
medicine. The race will conclude tomorrow, Thursday, November 17, at 
the University of Bridgeport.
  Through a four month, ninety city journey, The Run: Moving Natural 
Medicine Forward has endeavored to promote the causes of natural 
medicine, including the benefits of sustainable, quality holistic 
health care and the importance of healthy lifestyle management and 
health maintenance. By running an average of 30 miles per day, Dr. 
Dennis Godby and his family have helped bring attention to the urgent 
need to transform our nation's health.
  I wish the best of luck to Dr. Godby, his family and team, and the 
students and faculty at the University of Bridgeport's School of 
Naturopathic Medicine as they work to improve the health of our 
country.
