 ========================= END NOTE ========================= 


  Kelly and Kathy founded and run Better Together, an advocacy group 
for children with special needs. As mothers with children with 
disabilities, Kelly and Kathy mobilized a grassroots group of parents 
and family members to advocate for children with differing abilities. 
Today, Better Together is bringing awareness to the many unmet needs 
that children with differing abilities experience.
  I recently joined Better Together for their first advocacy event, an 
autism awareness and first responder forum. This wonderful 
collaborative event provided training and guidance to first responders 
on how to work effectively and compassionately to help patients with 
autism and other disabilities. It was a pleasure to join Kelly, Kathy, 
and the Better Together family to discuss their advocacy efforts and 
priorities.
  Mr. Speaker, I thank Kelly and Kathy for giving back to our community 
in such a meaningful way. They truly are making the world a better 
place.
