|
playing a significant role in the fight against multiple sclerosis; |
|
and |
|
WHEREAS, Diagnosed with relapsing-remitting multiple |
|
sclerosis in 1996, Mr. Walker has since dedicated his efforts to |
|
raising awareness of MS, a central nervous system disease marked by |
|
weakness, numbness, and a loss of muscle coordination; he |
|
established the nonprofit Band Against MS foundation in 2003, and |
|
he lends his support to Race to Erase MS; moreover, he is actively |
|
involved with the Max Cure Foundation, which funds research for the |
|
development of pediatric cancer drug therapies, and with Camp |
|
Heartland, which assists youth who are affected by HIV/AIDS; and |
|
WHEREAS, Born in Beaumont and raised in Vidor, Mr. Walker has |
|
reached multiplatinum status with four albums, producing such hit |
|
songs as "What's It To You" and "She Won't Be Lonely Long" over the |
|
course of his nearly 30-year career; in 2021, he released his most |
|
recent album, Texas to Tennessee, featuring the single "Catching Up |
|
With An Ol' Memory"; and |
|
WHEREAS, Clay Walker has long provided support to those with |
|
multiple sclerosis and to the ongoing search for a cure, and it is |
|
indeed a pleasure to join in honoring him for his important work; |
|
now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas |
|
Legislature hereby commend Clay Walker for his many contributions |
|
to the fight against multiple sclerosis and extend to him sincere |
|
best wishes for the future; and, be it further |
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
prepared for Mr. Walker as an expression of high regard by the Texas |
|
House of Representatives. |
