                        IN MEMORY OF MITCH STONE

  (Mr. WENSTRUP asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WENSTRUP. Madam Speaker, I rise today in memory of Mitch Stone. 
He was a University of Cincinnati football superfan, and he was an 
inspirational young man who passed away years after his battle with 
brain cancer.
  In 2009, at age 11, Mitch Stone was diagnosed with a malignant brain 
tumor. The Cincinnati Bearcats football team took Mitch in as one of 
their own and

saw him through his treatments. Mitch found strength and support 
through the UC Bearcats football team, and they found strength in him.
  Mitch went on to attend the University of Cincinnati, where he earned 
a bachelor's degree in 2020. He was a Kolodzik Business Scholar, an 
honors program at the Carl H. Lindner College of Business. Mitch used 
his experience to start his own foundation called Mitch's Mission, 
which helped children overcome their own health challenges.
  Mitch's death is a tragedy that we continue to mourn, but his life is 
a testimony to the good in this world. His legacy and the positive 
effects of his works will live on.
  Rest in peace, Mitch.
