WHEREAS: WHEREAS:
WHEREAS: WHEREAS: WHEREAS: THEREFORE:
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a neurological disease of the central nervous system that affects at least 2.3 million people worldwide; and
In Georgia, there are more than 9,000 people diagnosed with MS. The disease generally strikes people between the ages of 20-50, and causes unpredictable effects in which the progression, severity, and specific symptoms cannot be foreseen. The cause and cure forMS remains unknown; and
The Georgia chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Soci.ety is committed to creating a world free of MS and heightening ;public knowledge about the disease; ,and
Funds raised through the National Multiple Sclerosis Society fuel the efforts of more than 380 research projects globally, totaling nearly $54 million annually at the best medical centers, universities, and other institutions throughout our nation and abroad; and
Discovering the cause, finding a cure, and preventing future generations from being diagnosed with MS is an important task that all Georgians should support; now
I, NATHAN DEAL, Governor of the State of Georgia, do hereby proclaim March 7-13, 2016, as MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS AWARENESS WEEK in Georgia.
In witness thereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the Executive Department to be affixed this 1st day of March in the year of our Lord two thousand sixteen .
