H.R. No. 72 is a resolution honoring Amber Cervantes for her dedicated efforts in raising awareness about Huntington's disease, a neurodegenerative disorder that significantly impacts individuals and their families. After her husband, Albert, was diagnosed with the disease in 2018, Mrs. Cervantes became actively involved in the Huntington's disease community, advocating for timely Medicare assistance and supporting legislative efforts such as the Huntington's Disease Parity Act. Her advocacy work includes engaging with congressional offices and rallying support among lawmakers to improve the lives of those affected by the disease.

In addition to her advocacy, Mrs. Cervantes has contributed to the Huntington's disease community by authoring a book titled "The Invisible Backpack: A Boy's Story About Huntington's," aimed at helping her son understand his father's condition and providing support to families facing similar challenges. The resolution acknowledges her commitment to increasing awareness and understanding of Huntington's disease and expresses the Texas House of Representatives' sincere best wishes for her continued success in her endeavors. An official copy of the resolution will be prepared for Mrs. Cervantes as a token of high regard.
