                            HON. TOM LATHAM

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 29, 2010

  Mr. LATHAM. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Nick Lacina of 
Marshalltown, Iowa, who will be serving as the honorary chair of the 
American Cancer Society's Relay for Life of Marshall County, Iowa, 
which will take place on Saturday, July 31 until Sunday, August 1, 
2010.
  Nick is currently undergoing three years of treatment for leukemia. 
Nick continues to pursue his dreams by studying to become a civil 
engineer at Iowa State University. It is expected that Nick will make a 
full recovery once the treatments are complete. He has shown great 
strength throughout the period of his treatment.
  I know that my colleagues in the United States Congress join me in 
recognizing Nick Lacina and all of the volunteers and supporters of the 
American Cancer Society's Relay for Life of Marshall County, Iowa. I 
consider it an honor to represent Nick in Congress and wish him a 
healthy recovery.
