Supporting the goals and ideals of "Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) Awareness Day".

HRES 821 is a symbolic resolution designating November 12 as Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) Awareness Day. It formally supports raising public awareness about CJD, a rare, rapidly progressive, and fatal brain disorder affecting patients and their families. The resolution recognizes the challenges posed by CJD's rarity and swift progression, without proposing any new policies or funding. It serves as a non-binding acknowledgment of the disease's impact, intended to benefit those directly affected by CJD.
