The resolution honors 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 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 to rally support for those affected by the disease, which is characterized by severe neurological symptoms that progressively hinder daily functioning.

In addition to her advocacy, Mrs. Cervantes has contributed to the 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 recognizes her as a committed champion for increased 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 her as a token of high regard.
