Bill > SCR61

This concurrent resolution designates May 6, 2025, as Wishbone Day in Delaware, focusing on raising awareness about Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI), a rare genetic disorder also known as brittle bone disease that causes extremely fragile bones prone to fractures. The resolution highlights that OI affects between 20,000 and 50,000 individuals in the United States across all ages, races, and backgrounds, and manifests with varying degrees of severity. By officially recognizing Wishbone Day, the Delaware legislature aims to unite communities in promoting understanding, celebrating the strength of individuals living with OI, and supporting ongoing research into the condition. The resolution emphasizes the day's core message that "Awareness Makes a Difference!" and demonstrates the state's commitment to championing the rights of individuals with rare diseases by fostering inclusion and raising public awareness about the challenges faced by those with OI.
