                              BREE SANDLIN

  (Mr. OLSON asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
  I would like to share the story of a breast cancer survivor I met 
last week at home. Her name is Bree Sandlin. She is married to Stephen. 
They have two sons, Beck and Elliott. Elliott is a master Lego 
engineer.
  On July 25, 2012, Bree was diagnosed with stage III triple-negative 
breast cancer. After major surgery and chemotherapy, Bree was cancer 
free by February 13, 2013.
  A proud Texas Aggie, Bree has embraced life after her cancer. She 
climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, 19,341 feet above sea level. This past 
Sunday, she ran the Marine Corps Marathon with a time of 5 hours, 39 
minutes, and 10 seconds.
  We can beat breast cancer. Just ask Bree Sandlin.
