The resolution commends Belle Casey, a junior at Oak Mountain High School, for her dedicated efforts in raising awareness and support for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. As Miss Historic Springville's Teen and Miss Shelby County's Outstanding Teen 2023, she has actively promoted her platform to support the ALS community, inspired by her cousin's long battle with the disease. Over the past three years, Casey has raised over $5,000 through various initiatives, including participating in the Walk to Defeat ALS, leading Twirl Away ALS Baton Camps, and collaborating with the Birmingham Squadron Basketball Team to donate a portion of ticket sales to the ALS Association Alabama Chapter.

The resolution expresses the Alabama Legislature's admiration for Casey's advocacy work and her commitment to promoting her baton camp, Twirl Away ALS, on both state and national levels. Her efforts aim to raise funds for ALS research and inspire others to volunteer in the fight against the disease. The resolution concludes with best wishes for her future endeavors, recognizing her significant contributions to the ALS community.
