A PROCLAMATION
DYSTONIA AWARENESS MONTH
WHEREAS: WHEREAS: WHEREAS: WHEREAS:
THEREFORE:
Dystonia is a neurological movement disorder characterized by involuntary muscle contractions, often resulting in painful and debilitating body positions for the patient; and
Dystonia is a nonterminal disease that can make everyday tasks impossible to achieve; and
Dystonia affects an estimated 500,000 people in North America, a third of which are children; and
Numerous organizations, in the State of Georgia, are committed to investing the proper resources so that we may find a cure for this nondegenerative disease. It is the hope of the dystonia community to lessen the physical, emotional, and financial burdens of this devastating disease; now
I, NATHAN DEAL, Governor of the State of Georgia, do hereby proclaim September 201 5 as DYSTONIA AWARENESS MONTH in Georgia in order to bring attention to this condition in our state.
In witness thereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the Executive Department to be affixed this 1Oth day of March in the year of our Lord two thousand fifteen.
