PETE OLSON of texas in the house of representatives Tuesday, August 7, 2018 Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Alexis Paget of Missouri City, TX, for receiving the Hero Award from the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Alexis, a 16 year old student at Ridge Point High School, won the national award for her fundraising efforts during the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Texas Gulf Coast Chapter's 2018 Students of the Year campaign. Alexis raised over $61,000 with her fundraising team and her class brought in over $350,000 to fight blood cancer. This funding is then distributed by the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society to over 1.3 million blood cancer patients in the U.S. Paget ran her campaign in honor of her grandfather, who lost his battle to Acute Myeloid Leukemia. On behalf of the Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas, congratulations again to Alexis Paget for receiving the Hero Award from the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. I thank her for her dedication to creating a world without blood cancer. ____________________
