                    CONGRATULATIONS TO HANNAH ADAMS

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. TED S. YOHO

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                     Wednesday, September 13, 2017

  Mr. YOHO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate, honor and thank 
Ms. Hannah Adams, a young constituent from my district, for her 
exemplary service as a National Youth Ambassador for the Hyundai Hope 
On Wheels foundation to fight pediatric cancer.
  Ms. Adams, a 14-year-old childhood cancer survivor from Middleburg, 
Florida, was selected to serve as a Hyundai Hope On Wheels National 
Youth Ambassador in March 2016.
  Since that time, Ms. Adams has traveled across the country to share 
her story of courage and hope and to inspire others to join in the 
fight against cancer.
  Ms. Adams joined Hyundai Hope On Wheels in its mission to educate 
people about pediatric cancer and to raise money--over $130 million 
since 1998--to find a cure.
  Over the last two years, Ms. Adams visited many children's hospitals 
and attended events to stand in solidarity with other children and 
families who are battling cancer or who have been impacted by the 
disease.
  Ms. Adams was only five years old when she was diagnosed with a Stage 
3 Wilms tumor that enveloped her kidney, and she has become one tough 
cancer survivor.
  Ms. Adams is an inspiring example of bravery for all of us, and I am 
exceptionally proud of her for giving others hope. It is critical that 
we encourage and support the kind of selfless contributions this young 
woman has made.
  Ms. Adams gives me hope for a better tomorrow and a future where no 
child has to hear the words, ``You have cancer.''

  I wish Ms. Adams the best of luck with all her future endeavors, and 
I urge my colleagues here in the U.S. House of Representatives to join 
me in congratulating her as she completes her service as a 2016-2017 
Hyundai Hope On Wheels National Youth Ambassador.
