RECOGNIZING NATIONAL SOCK OUT CANCER DAY
(Mr. MOLINARO asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. MOLINARO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize National Sock
Out Cancer Day, which will take place on June 2.
Cancer affects millions of families from all walks of life, and Sock
Out Cancer Day reminds us that we are all alike in facing this
formidable foe.
The Sock Out Cancer organization has captured this message by selling
pairs of multicolored socks which symbolize over 25 different forms of
cancer.
With the proceeds, the organization has helped survivors and families
pay for food, transportation, and housing so they can focus their
energy on healing and recovery.
Mr. Speaker, Sock Out Cancer has become a beacon of hope for those
facing the fight of their lives. I ask that my colleagues in the House
join me in recognizing this June 2 as National Sock Out Cancer Day.
