HR402: HR402 Reign Over Cancer Inc.; commend

It recognizes Reign Over Cancer Inc., a nonprofit founded by Reign Stevens, a breast cancer survivor who works as a lobbyist, community organizer, legislative aide, and certified life coach. The resolution describes the organization's work building partnerships with grassroots groups and medical professionals, and highlights its program giving Christmas gifts to children of cancer survivors, whom it calls 'silent survivors.' The House resolves to commend the organization for its contributions to Georgia and directs the Clerk of the House to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to Reign Over Cancer Inc.
