TO HONOR AND RECOGNIZE COACH MICHAEL KLEINFELDER OF LEXINGTON, TWO TIME CANCER SURVIVOR, FOR HIS COURAGEOUS FIGHT AGAINST THE DEBILITATING DISEASE, ON THE OCCASION OF THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY AND THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY CANCER ACTION NETWORK'S SUITS AND SNEAKERS DAY.

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina Senate are honored to recognize Coach Michael Kleinfelder during the American Cancer Society and the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network's Suits and Sneakers Day; and

Whereas, having survived lung cancer and cancer in his chest wall, Coach Kleinfelder's courage and generosity serve as an inspiration to many; and

Whereas, a dedicated and caring coach for Gilbert High School girls' soccer, Coach Kleinfelder is always a source of strength and comfort for others, regardless of his own struggles. He never fails to support his players, whether they are participating in another sport, going through a tough time at school or home, or dealing with the loss of a loved one; and

Whereas, Suits and Sneakers Day honors cancer patients, survivors, and their families and remembers those who have been lost to cancer. Suits and Sneakers is a collaboration between the American Cancer Society and the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network leveraging the personal experiences, community leadership, and professional excellence of coaches nationwide to increase cancer awareness and promote healthy living through year-round awareness efforts, fundraising activities, and advocacy programs; and

Whereas, the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network empowers advocates across the State to make their voices heard and influence evidence-based public policy change that will reduce the cancer burden on our State; and

Whereas, like Coach Kleinfelder, the lives of many across the State have been affected by cancer, with more than thirty thousand South Carolinians expected to have the disease in 2019; and

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina Senate are pleased to honor this son of South Carolina during the American Cancer Society and the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network's Suits and Sneakers Day. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:

That the members of the South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, honor and recognize Coach Michael Kleinfelder of Lexington, two time cancer survivor, for his courageous fight against the debilitating disease, on the occasion of the American Cancer Society and the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network's Suits and Sneakers Day.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Coach Michael Kleinfelder.
