 SUPPORTING THE DOLPHINS CANCER CHALLENGE AND SYLVESTER COMPREHENSIVE 
                             CANCER CENTER

  (Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to urge south Floridians 
to join me at the Dolphins Cancer Challenge on Saturday, February 20.
  The Dolphins Cancer Challenge raises money for the University of 
Miami's Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center to help ``tackle 
cancer''--to the tune of $11.5 million since its inception in 2010.
  This event was inspired by Jim ``Mad Dog'' Mandich, whom we see 
pictured here, whom we tragically lost to cancer nearly 5 years ago.
  A champion both on and off the field, the ``Mad Dog'' was a key 
contributor for the still-perfect and still-peerless, undefeated 1972 
Miami Dolphins.
  But Jim was perhaps best known and loved for his broadcasting work, 
where he cheered our own Dolphins with his patented ``Alright Miami.''
  So please ride, run, or walk with me at the Dolphins Cancer Challenge 
to help support Sylvester's innovative cancer care.
