Alexis for her project on raising awareness about Cystic Fibrosis (CF). 
Additionally, Alexis also earned the Girl Scout Journey Award and 
completed over 50 hours of work and planning devoted to this cause.
   In the spring of 2013, Alexis began to research CF, a disease her 
sister has been diagnosed with. Shortly thereafter, she compiled a 
learning board exhibit which detailed the effects caused by CF.
   Over the next several months, Miss Hardrick traveled to various 
events around Lewisburg, Tennessee, discussing her learning board and 
arranging activities to promote a greater understanding of CF. 
Moreover, during the fall of 2013, Alexis enlisted the help of her Girl 
Scout Troop to host CF Awareness Day and from all accounts was a great 
success.
   On behalf of the people of Tennessee's Fourth Congressional 
District, I want to congratulate Alexis on receiving the Silver Award 
and thank her for her dedication and hard work in raising awareness for 
Cystic Fibrosis.
