The resolution commemorates February 8, 2025, as "Carrigan Nelson Day" in honor of Carrigan Nelson, a young woman who has shown remarkable courage and resilience in her battle against osteosarcoma, a rare pediatric bone cancer. Since her diagnosis in 2019, Carrigan has inspired many, including fellow cancer patients, with her strength, compassion, and determination. Her journey has been marked by numerous challenges, yet she has faced them with a positive spirit, using her experiences to raise awareness for pediatric cancer and advocate for increased funding by lobbying Congress.

The resolution serves as a reminder to individuals of all ages to embody Carrigan's fighting spirit and to approach life with hope, love, and purpose. It recognizes her contributions to the community and her role as a voice for those affected by cancer. The Senate of the State of Rhode Island officially proclaims this day to honor Carrigan and all "Cancer Warriors," and directs the Secretary of State to transmit a certified copy of the resolution to her.
