  CONGRATULATING MICHIGAN CHAPTER OF HUNTINGTON'S DISEASE SOCIETY OF 
                                AMERICA

  (Ms. TLAIB asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. TLAIB. Mr. Speaker, I am so proud that our Michigan chapter of 
the Huntington's Disease Society of America is Chapter of the Year.
  They got their award, and it is an incredible team that elevates the 
personal stories of so many of our residents. They advocate for 
increased research funding, improved access to care, and policies that 
better support our families living with Huntington's disease.
  This includes Andy Zeman, who received the Youth Huntington's Disease 
Award. After losing his birth mother to Huntington's disease and being 
diagnosed himself, he continues to bring incredible courage and 
optimism to this space.
  I will also honor Dave Stickles, who also received the Marjorie 
Guthrie Award, for his unwavering commitment to supporting families. I 
am so incredibly proud of our Michigan chapter.
  These national awards recognize advocates who have turned personal 
hardship into public service. Their tireless advocacy has now helped 
hundreds, if not thousands, of families living with Huntington's 
disease. They have given many people a voice, and I am so incredibly 
proud that they have received this award.
