                       Tuesday, October 26, 2021

  Mrs. AXNE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Jennifer Redmond, the 
state executive director of Nebraska and Iowa for Susan G. Komen. Their 
mission is to save lives by meeting the most critical needs of their 
communities and investing in breakthrough research to prevent and cure 
breast cancer.
  Susan G. Komen has invested in more than $1.1 billion collectively in 
lifesaving breast cancer research since 1982. More than 1,200 Iowans 
seek help and information from Susan. G. Komen every week, and all 99 
counties in Iowa are served by Susan G. Komen breast cancer services.
  All Iowans can get involved with Susan G. Komen through events and 
activities organized throughout the state, by becoming an individual 
advocate or by registering their workplace for volunteer programs, 
fundraising campaigns, and access to world-class breast cancer content. 
There are currently 1,786 people in Iowa who advocate for breast cancer 
rights with Susan G. Komen.
  Jennifer and the team at Susan G. Komen also ensure everyone has 
access to quality screening, diagnosis, and treatment for breast 
cancer. Anyone who reaches out, no matter where they are in their 
breast cancer journey is welcome at Susan G. Komen.
  Jennifer and her staff spend every day supporting organizations that 
provide vital services and research to Iowans and it is my pleasure to 
honor Jennifer Redmond as Iowan of the Week.
