Bill > J00788

This resolution commemorates the 15th Annual Walk-N-Roll for Spina Bifida, an event taking place at Central Park in Schenectady on May 18, 2025, organized by the Spina Bifida Association of Northeastern New York. The resolution provides context about Spina Bifida, a birth condition affecting the spine where the neural tube does not close completely, potentially causing damage to the spinal cord and nerves. The Spina Bifida Association, founded in 1993 by local parents, has grown to serve all of New York State and supports individuals with Spina Bifida across different age groups. The Walk-N-Roll is a three-mile walking event sponsored by The Daily Gazette, aimed at raising awareness about Spina Bifida and celebrating the achievements of those living with the condition. The legislative body resolves to pause in its deliberations to commemorate this event and will transmit copies of the resolution to the Board of Directors of the Spina Bifida Association of Northeastern New York, demonstrating support for the organization and its mission to build a better future for those impacted by Spina Bifida.
