The resolution acknowledges the significant impact of Multiple Sclerosis (MS), a neurological disease affecting millions globally, including approximately one million individuals in the United States and 2,319 adults in Rhode Island. It highlights the age group most affected by MS, typically between 20 and 50 years old, and emphasizes the ongoing challenges in understanding the disease, as well as the absence of a cure. The resolution commends the National Multiple Sclerosis Society for its 79 years of commitment to raising awareness, funding research, and pursuing advancements in treatment, having invested over $1 billion in research initiatives.

Furthermore, the resolution expresses the Rhode Island House of Representatives' support for the mission of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society to halt the progression of MS and ultimately eradicate the disease. It designates May 30, 2025, as "World MS Day" in Rhode Island to promote awareness and encourage public support for MS research and advocacy. The resolution concludes by directing the Secretary of State to send a certified copy to the Chairman of the Board of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, Mr. Peter Porrino.
