The resolution recognizes March 2025 as Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Month in Nebraska, highlighting the impact of multiple sclerosis (MS) as a disabling disease that affects the central nervous system. It notes the significant progress made in MS research, including the development of over twenty treatments to slow the disease's progression, while acknowledging that there is still no known cause or cure. The resolution emphasizes the importance of raising awareness about MS, which affects an estimated one million people in the U.S., including over 3,200 individuals in Nebraska.

Furthermore, the resolution expresses support for those diagnosed with MS and acknowledges the vital role of their families and support systems in providing care. By designating March as MS Awareness Month, the Legislature aims to unite individuals in Nebraska and beyond in the fight against MS, fostering education and connections to combat the challenges posed by the disease.
