                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 17, 2019

  Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, it is my honor to 
congratulate Cameron Yingling, one of the recipients of this year's 
Encompass Health Personal Achievement Award.
  This past summer, Cameron and his brother were diagnosed with 
Friedreich's Ataxia. This disease affects balance, coordination, 
mobility, and the heart. There is no treatment or cure, but that has 
not deterred the boys. Following their diagnosis, they started selling 
blue ``Fight Ataxia'' bracelets and donated all to research.
  Since coming to Encompass Health, he and his brother have always 
showed up with a fighting spirit and a positive attitude each session 
as they participate in aqua and land therapy to maintain muscle 
strength and mobility.
  It is thrilling to hear that Cameron was also able to help others in 
his program to push a little harder once they saw his work ethic.
  Congratulations once again to Cameron on this recognition.
