Congress honored Rory and The Foundation
Initiated by Illinois congressman Rahm Emanuel, the U.S. House of Representatives honored Rory and The Rory David Deutsch Foundation on January 5, 2005. A portion of Emanuel’s statement to the House read: “I applaud the research supported by The Rory David Deutsch Foundation on behalf of children afflicted with brain tumors. The promise of a cure borne from this heart-breaking tragedy serves as a source of inspiration and hope for the future of our children. I join with the Fifth Congressional District and indeed all of Chicago in wishing The Foundation and the Deutsch family continued success and happiness in the future.”
