                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. CHERI BUSTOS

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, October 22, 2019

  Mrs. BUSTOS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Richard Apple, 
the recipient of the first ever National Citizen Scientist Champion 
Award from the Global Alzheimer's Platform Foundation. This award 
recognizes Mr. Apple for his advocacy for Alzheimer's clinical trial 
participation in Illinois.
  A resident of Rockford, Illinois, Mr. Apple's passion for Alzheimer's 
research advocacy stems from losing both of his grandparents to 
Alzheimer's and having been the primary caregiver to his uncle and his 
mother, both of whom died from the disease. He has since devoted his 
time to aiding in research, enrolling in his first trial at Great Lakes 
Clinical Trials in Chicago, IL immediately after he retired and has 
participated in four since then. I want to thank Mr. Apple for his 
contributions to science and furthering the cause to find a cure for 
Alzheimer's.
  It is because of community leaders such as Richard Apple that I am 
especially proud to serve Illinois' 17th Congressional District. Madam 
Speaker, I would like to again formally congratulate Richard Apple on 
his receipt of
