myeloma, as well as to improving the lives of patients and their | ||

inspiration from getting to know young survivors of leukemia and | ||
lymphoma, the Boy and Girl of the Year; "Hutch" Hutchings dedicated | ||
his campaign to Charlie Ortiz, a vibrant young fourth grader who | ||
completed her treatment for leukemia in February 2012; in addition, | ||
he paid tribute to his grandmother, the late Alma "Boots" Chastain, | ||
who was a cancer patient and hospital volunteer; and | ||
WHEREAS, Through his hard work in behalf of The Leukemia & | ||
Lymphoma Society, Hutch Hutchings has helped the organization raise | ||
awareness of its important mission and meet its fund-raising goals; | ||
now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas | ||
Legislature hereby commend William "Hutch" Hutchings for his | ||
contributions to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and congratulate | ||
him on winning the Man of the Year title for the South Central Texas | ||
Chapter; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for Mr. Hutchings as an expression of high regard by the | ||
Texas House of Representatives. | ||
