The resolution recognizes March 2025 as Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Month in Nebraska, highlighting the impact of multiple sclerosis (MS), a debilitating disease affecting the central nervous system. It notes that while significant advancements have been made in MS research, including the development of over twenty treatments, there remains no known cause or cure for the disease. With an estimated one million individuals in the U.S. living with MS, including over 3,200 in Nebraska, the resolution aims to raise awareness and foster connections among those affected by the disease.

Additionally, the resolution expresses support for individuals 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 Nebraska Legislature aims to unite efforts in the fight against MS, promote education about the disease, and encourage community involvement in making a difference for those impacted by MS.
