                       RECOGNIZING L'MIO EDWARDS

  (Mr. CISNEROS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CISNEROS. Mr. Speaker, during this pandemic, many companies and 
individuals in California's 39th have gone above and beyond to help and 
support others. Some have donated PPE; others raised money; some even 
changed their entire business operation to support the district.
  But today I want to mention one young lady, L'Mio Edwards, a rising 
freshman at Diamond Bar High School and the number five cross country 
runner for her age group in the country.
  Using her gift as a talented runner, L'Mio committed to running a 5K 
for 30 consecutive days in order to raise money for local food banks to 
support families during COVID-19. So far, she has raised thousands of 
dollars and helped hundreds of people.
  Last Saturday, I had the honor of joining this young lady for a run, 
and she blew me away both with her commitment to support her community 
and with her speed, leaving me in her dust.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in saluting L'Mio Edwards 
for her commitment to her community and our country.
