AI Summary
This resolution recognizes March 9 to 15, 2025, as Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Week, highlighting the significant impact of multiple sclerosis (MS), a neurological disease affecting nearly 1 million people in the United States. The resolution emphasizes that MS typically affects individuals between ages 20 to 50, has no known cure, and presents debilitating symptoms. It acknowledges the National Multiple Sclerosis Society's long-standing commitment to research, noting their investment of over $1 billion in groundbreaking research since 1946, and their mission to find a cure while empowering those affected by the disease. The resolution encourages citizens to learn more about MS and support individuals and families dealing with the condition, and directs the Secretary of the Senate to distribute copies of the resolution to the public and press, demonstrating the state's recognition of the importance of MS awareness and research.
