A resolution designating September 25, 2024, as "National Ataxia Awareness Day", and raising awareness of ataxia, ataxia research, and the search for a cure.

SRES 794 is a symbolic Senate resolution designating September 25, 2024, as "National Ataxia Awareness Day." It aims to raise public and medical awareness of ataxia - a group of rare neurological conditions causing movement coordination issues - along with related research and treatment needs. The resolution encourages broader recognition of ataxia's impact, including its symptoms (like balance loss, slurred speech, and mobility challenges) and the need for improved diagnosis and research. It does not create new laws, allocate funding, or directly affect individuals, but formally supports awareness goals for patients, families, and healthcare providers. The resolution is non-binding and serves solely to highlight this rare disease community.
