The resolution recognizes March 2025 as Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Month in Nebraska, highlighting the impact of multiple sclerosis (MS) as a disabling disease of the central nervous system that affects communication between the brain and body. Despite advancements in research and the availability of over twenty treatments to slow its progression, there remains no known cause or cure for MS. The resolution notes that approximately one million individuals in the U.S. are living with MS, including over 3,200 in Nebraska.

Furthermore, the resolution emphasizes the importance of MS Awareness Month as a time to unite individuals in Nebraska, across the U.S., and globally in the fight against MS. It aims to foster connections and educate the public about the disease while expressing support for those diagnosed with MS and acknowledging the vital role of their families and support systems in providing care.
