commemorating May 24, 2026, as the 15th Anniversary of the birth of Paige Elizabeth Keely
This bill designates May 24, 2026, as Paige Elizabeth Keely Day in New York State to honor the memory of a young girl who passed away from a rare brain condition. The resolution aims to raise public awareness about brain arteriovenous malformations and other neurological disorders while supporting the foundation established by her family to fund research and aid affected families. By officially recognizing this date, the legislature intends to encourage medical screening and education regarding early detection methods for these silent conditions. Copies of the resolution will be sent to the Keely family and their foundation to acknowledge their advocacy work.
