2012 Girl and Boy of the Year; and
WHEREAS, The individuals selected as the Girl and Boy of the Year are
chosen by the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society for their strength and cour-
age while battling leukemia; they serve as examples for thousands of
children across the United States who are winning the war against blood
cancer; and

Girl and Boy of the Year, serve as inspirations for local Leukemia and

cancers; and
WHEREAS, Because of their strength and the sacrifices of their fami-
lies, the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society is one step closer to achieving
its goal to find a cure for blood cancer so that children like Rylyn
Swierzewski and Benjamin Grant do not suffer the injustice of blood
cancer in years to come; and
WHEREAS, It is the custom of this Legislative Body that when individ-
uals of such enduring courage and bravery are brought to our attention,
they should be celebrated and recognized by all the citizens of this
great Empire State; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
honor Rylyn Swierzewski and Benjamin Grant upon the occasion of being
selected as the Upstate New York Chapter of the Leukemia and Lymphoma
Society's 2012 Girl and Boy of the Year; and be it further
RESOLVED, That copies of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be tran-
smitted to Rylyn Swierzewski and Benjamin Grant.
