A RESOLUTION recognizing May 2025 as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Awareness Month.

This resolution (SR 17) designates May 2025 as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) Awareness Month in Kentucky. It does not create new laws or allocate funding, but formally recognizes the need for public awareness about ALS, a progressive neurodegenerative disease with no cure. The resolution acknowledges ALS statistics (e.g., diagnosis every 90 minutes, 2-5 year survival average) and the work of organizations like the ALS Association. It affects Kentuckians by encouraging community recognition of ALS patients and research efforts during May 2025.
