Bill > K00373

This resolution commemorates the 15th Annual Walk-N-Roll for Spina Bifida, a three-mile walking event to be held 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 of all ages affected by the condition. The resolution aims to raise awareness about Spina Bifida, celebrate the accomplishments of those living with the condition, and recognize the organization's mission to build a better future for those impacted. By passing this resolution, the legislative body pauses to acknowledge the event and its importance, and will transmit copies of the resolution to the Board of Directors of the Spina Bifida Association of Northeastern New York.
