Bill > HR0355

This resolution declares the week of March 9-15, 2025 as MS Awareness Week and May 30, 2025 as MS Awareness Day, focusing on multiple sclerosis (MS), a neurological disease affecting nearly one million people in the United States that typically impacts individuals between ages 20 and 50. The resolution acknowledges that MS is a complex condition with unknown causes and no current cure, and highlights the critical work of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, which has invested over $1 billion in research since 1946. By passing this resolution, the Illinois House of Representatives encourages all state residents to learn more about MS, support individuals and families affected by the disease, and recognize the importance of ongoing research efforts to find the cause and potential cure. The resolution also expresses appreciation for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society's dedication to transforming what it means to live with MS and its commitment to creating a world free of this challenging neurological condition.
