This resolution recognizes the week of March 9 through 15, 2025, as "Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Week" in Pennsylvania, highlighting the significance of multiple sclerosis (MS), a neurological disease of the central nervous system that primarily affects young adults aged 20 to 50. The resolution notes that approximately 2.3 million people are affected by MS globally, with over 24,000 individuals impacted in Pennsylvania, and emphasizes the ongoing efforts of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, which has been working for 79 years to raise awareness, fund research, and ultimately find a cure. The document underscores the society's substantial investment of over $1 billion in groundbreaking research, funding more than 320 research projects at medical centers and universities across the United States and internationally. By passing this resolution, the Pennsylvania House of Representatives aims to recognize the importance of finding the cause and cure for MS and encourages state residents to support the ongoing fight against this devastating disease.
