Supports the designation of "ALS Awareness Month".
This resolution symbolically supports designating a specific month as "ALS Awareness Month" to raise public recognition of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). It does not create new laws or funding but affirms the House's commitment to advancing treatments, reducing the physical/emotional/financial burdens of ALS, and supporting patients and caregivers. The resolution directly affects public awareness efforts and the ALS community by highlighting the disease's impact - such as its 2-5 year life expectancy after diagnosis and the 5,000 annual U.S. diagnoses - without altering policy or providing resources. It serves as a non-binding statement of support from the House.
