SUPPORTING THE DOLPHINS CANCER CHALLENGE AND SYLVESTER COMPREHENSIVE
CANCER CENTER
(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, I rise today to urge south Floridians
to join me at the Dolphins Cancer Challenge on Saturday, February 20.
The Dolphins Cancer Challenge raises money for the University of
Miami's Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center to help ``tackle
cancer''--to the tune of $11.5 million since its inception in 2010.
This event was inspired by Jim ``Mad Dog'' Mandich, whom we see
pictured here, whom we tragically lost to cancer nearly 5 years ago.
A champion both on and off the field, the ``Mad Dog'' was a key
contributor for the still-perfect and still-peerless, undefeated 1972
Miami Dolphins.
But Jim was perhaps best known and loved for his broadcasting work,
where he cheered our own Dolphins with his patented ``Alright Miami.''
So please ride, run, or walk with me at the Dolphins Cancer Challenge
to help support Sylvester's innovative cancer care.
