HONORING THE LUVERNIA FULLER FOUNDATION AND RECOGNIZING MAY 18TH, 2007, 
                      AS ``ANSWER MY PRAYER'' DAY

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. JUDY BIGGERT

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 28, 2006

  Mrs. BIGGERT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the Luvernia Fuller 
Foundation for the invaluable support it provides to cancer patients. 
In doing so, I join two local governments in the 13th District of 
Illinois in recognizing the Luvernia Fuller Foundation for its 
generosity. Both the Village of Romeoville and the City of Joliet in my 
district have declared May 18, 2007, Luvernia Fuller Foundation 
``Answer My Prayer'' day.
  This not-for-profit organization was established on January 20, 2004 
by the son of cancer patient, Luvernia Fuller. Unfortunately, like too 
many people stricken with cancer, Luvernia Fuller lost her battle. 
Inspired by his mother, Brian Fuller established the Foundation to 
provide emotional and monetary assistance to cancer patients and their 
families.
  ``Answer My Prayer'' day was created to raise awareness and support 
for cancer patients. The Luvernia Fuller Foundation's goal of ``Answer 
My Prayer'' day is not only to raise money to help provide necessary 
medical treatment and medicine for cancer patients, but also to educate 
the public about cancer and to celebrate the dignity of cancer 
patients.
  As representative of the 13th District of Illinois, I am extremely 
pleased that such a fine foundation is based in my district and is 
providing life-saving assistance to the people of Illinois, I wish the 
Luvernia Fuller Foundation continued success in its mission and hope 
that we all set aside May 18th as ``Answer My Prayer'' day to help and 
remember those who have been or are currently afflicted with cancer.
