                     MIAMI WALK TO END ALZHEIMER'S

  (Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to lend my support to the 
Miami Walk to End Alzheimer's, and I urge my fellow south Floridians to 
come out to Museum Park in downtown Miami this Saturday, November 7, to 
help advance Alzheimer's support, care, and research in our community 
and, indeed, across our great Nation.
  Alzheimer's is a growing problem in Florida, with over half a million 
seniors impacted. And it is not just patients who suffer. Family 
members and caregivers, too, often bear the brunt of this tragic and 
emotionally draining disease. I know this personally, having lost my 
mother to complications from Alzheimer's on January 28, 2011.
  Please consider taking a few hours out of your weekend to benefit 
Alzheimer's awareness and research for south Florida's elderly and the 
families who support and love them.
