              REMEMBERING PENN STATE STUDENT MADISON HILL

  (Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of 
19-year-old Madison ``Maddie'' Hill, a student at Penn State 
University, who, sadly, passed away after a long battle with cancer 
last week.
  Madison was not originally from Pennsylvania's Fifth Congressional 
District. In fact, she was a native of York County, but she was no 
stranger to Penn State University even before she started classes there 
as a student.
  Following her cancer diagnosis, Madison benefited from the Penn State 
IFC/Panhellenic Dance Marathon, or THON, the largest student-run 
philanthropy in the world, which raises funds and awareness for the 
fight against pediatric cancer.
  Upon enrolling in Penn State, Madison worked to provide that same 
support for other cancer patients as a volunteer and family relations 
co-chair with THON. She was also a member of the university's Blue & 
White Society.
  I join the entire Penn State community in mourning the loss of 
Madison and offer my thoughts and prayers to her family and friends.
