R E S O L U T I O N
 
         WHEREAS, Multiple sclerosis, also known as MS, is a lifelong,
  unpredictable, and often disabling disease of the central nervous
  system; and
         WHEREAS, Multiple sclerosis affects an estimated 2.5 million
  people worldwide; three-quarters of the people with MS are women,
  and most people are diagnosed during the prime-of-life years, ages
  20 to 50; and
         WHEREAS, Concerned Texans across the state, along with the
  National Multiple Sclerosis Society, are committed to doing
  something about multiple sclerosis now; they support programs and
  services to enhance the lives of people affected by the disease,
  raise funds and awareness through Bike MS and Walk MS events, and
  invest in research toward a cure for the disease; and
         WHEREAS, Today is the National Multiple Sclerosis Society
  2013 Texas Public Policy Conference, a gathering of multiple
  sclerosis activists committed to creating positive change through
  advocacy for Texans affected by multiple sclerosis and other
  chronic conditions; and
         WHEREAS, Though much still remains to be done, the work of the
  National Multiple Sclerosis Society and the other organizations
  working in behalf of those with this disease are helping to create a
  dynamic movement with the ultimate goal of achieving a world free of
  multiple sclerosis; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
  Legislature hereby recognize February 27, 2013, as National
  Multiple Sclerosis Society Texas Public Policy Conference Day at
  the State Capitol and encourage all efforts that inform Texans
  about the disease and help bring us closer to a world free of
  multiple sclerosis; and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
  prepared in honor of these worthy efforts.
