  Mr. CARTWRIGHT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the Cancer Support 
Community for their decade of service to the Greater Lehigh Valley 
area. Since 2004, this organization has provided support, hope, and a 
sense of control to 26,400 people struggling with cancer in seven 
counties, including Berks, Carbon, Lehigh, Monroe, Northampton, and 
Schuylkill Counties in Pennsylvania as well as Warren County in New 
Jersey.
  The Cancer Support Community offers free programs, educational 
classes, and support groups to patients and their families as they 
undergo the difficult stages of this terrible disease. Through their 
works, the Cancer Support Community of the Greater Lehigh Valley 
ensures no one has to face cancer alone. I extend my personal gratitude 
to the members of the board of directors, staff, and volunteers for 
their invaluable service to patients and their families in these 
communities.
