                      EDEN PRAIRIE RELAY FOR LIFE

  (Mr. PAULSEN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PAULSEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to speak about an event this 
weekend in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, that will raise critical funds for 
cancer research.
  The Relay for Life brings together individuals from all walks of life 
that have been affected by cancer as they team up to find a cure. This 
year's event, which combines previous relays that have taken place in 
Bloomington, Eden Prairie, Richfield, Hopkins, and Minnetonka, is 
aiming to raise over $90,000 for cancer research.
  Mr. Speaker, every year 14 million people learn the devastating news 
that they have cancer, and the Relay for Life helps provide important 
funding that helps develop the cures and treatments that will also help 
millions of people.
  A big thank you to the organizers of this event. Helping find a cure 
for cancer will not happen without the dedicated effort and events like 
the Relay for Life.
