	H.R. No. 775



	R E S O L U T I O N

	WHEREAS, Each year, an average of 1,200 Texas children and
	adolescents learn that they have some form of cancer; and
	WHEREAS, A diagnosis of childhood cancer is news that no
	family can prepare for or envision receiving, and it is too often
	the first step on a frightening, uncertain, and costly road; and
	WHEREAS, Texas is fortunate to be home to numerous hospitals
	that are a part of the Children's Oncology Group, a network of
	medical centers working to develop the next wave of lifesaving
	treatments; together, these institutions are considered to be the
	world's pediatric cancer experts; and
	WHEREAS, These hospitals are: in San Antonio, Methodist
	Children's Hospital, The University of Texas Health Science Center,
	Children's Hospital of San Antonio, and Brooke Army Medical Center;
	in Houston, MD Anderson Cancer Center and Texas Children's
	Hospital; in Dallas, Children's Medical Center of Dallas, Medical
	City Dallas Hospital, and The University of Texas Southwestern
	Medical Center; and Dell Children's Medical Center of Central Texas
	in Austin, Cook Children's Medical Center in Fort Worth, El Paso
	Children's Hospital, Driscoll Children's Hospital in Corpus
	Christi, Scott & White Memorial Hospital in Temple, and Covenant
	Children's Hospital in Lubbock; and
	WHEREAS, A calendar month has been dedicated to each type of
	cancer to help promote awareness and support for those affected,
	and September is the month set aside to highlight childhood cancer;
	and
	WHEREAS, The advancement of medical knowledge and the
	collaboration of many individuals and organizations are pivotal to
	the search for a cure, and the observance of Childhood Cancer
	Awareness Month encourages Texans to affirm their commitment to
	that important effort; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
	Legislature hereby recognize September 2015 as Childhood Cancer
	Awareness Month and commend all those who are involved in the fight
	to end this devastating disease.
