                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. SCOTT McINNIS

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 6, 2001

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
recognize an exceptional and caring young woman, Destiny Folmer, who 
recently help raise $400 for the Colorado Brian Injury Association. 
Destiny's mom is a brain injury survivor who helped inspire her to 
engage in this worthy cause. Destiny recently tried to ensure that 
others suffering brain injuries will survive and recover by 
participating in the Pikes Peak Challenge. At only fifteen years old, 
she and her father performed the fifteen-mile hike up Pikes Peak and, 
after nine long hours, finished the grueling hike. By completing the 
challenge, she was able to raise the $400 for the Association. Mr. 
Speaker, not only is her family proud of her achievements, but her 
community is proud and appreciative of her charitable heart. Destiny 
Folmer has truly displayed a caring heart and the many that will 
benefit from her dedication are grateful for her selfless act. She is a 
special young woman that is worthy of the praise of this body of 
Congress. I would like to thank Destiny for being a role model to us 
all.
