SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 713
WHEREAS, Kaitlyn Jankovsky is an inspiring young lady who
has shown courage and resolve during her battle against childhood
cancer; and
WHEREAS, The daughter of Richard and Joann Jankovsky,
Kaitlyn was born on December 12, 2000, in Harlingen; she has
attended schools in Los Fresnos, Laredo, and Woodsboro, where she
is now an eighth grade student; before her illness, she managed
an active schedule of cheerleading, track, and volleyball
outside of her work in the classroom; and
WHEREAS, In early August 2014, Kaitlyn was diagnosed with
acute lymphoblastic leukemia, the most common form of childhood
cancer; she immediately began undergoing what is expected to be a
three-year course of treatment at Driscoll Children's Hospital
in Corpus Christi; and
WHEREAS, This lively teenager has demonstrated a fondness
for hunting and the outdoors, and while the disease has
interrupted her involvement in extracurricular pursuits, she
maintains a positive attitude and is engaged in the goal of
promoting childhood cancer awareness; blessed with the love and
reassurance of her family, she has also received an outpouring of
prayers and support from near and far, and members of her
community have banded together to raise funds in her behalf; and
WHEREAS, Kaitlyn Jankovsky is persevering through a life
challenge that would test the fortitude of individuals many
years her senior, and her strength and determination have
earned her the heartfelt admiration of countless people; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 84th
Legislature, hereby honor Kaitlyn Jankovsky for her bravery in
fighting cancer and extend to her and her family warmest best
wishes for all the good fortune she so richly deserves in the
journey ahead; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be
prepared for Ms. Jankovsky as an expression of high regard from
the Texas Senate.
