A Resolution recognizing May 17, 2025, as "World Neurofibromatosis Awareness Day" in Pennsylvania.

This resolution symbolically recognizes May 17, 2025, as "World Neurofibromatosis Awareness Day" in Pennsylvania. It does not create new laws or funding but aligns with the global observance led by the Children's Tumor Foundation. The resolution aims to raise public awareness about neurofibromatosis - a rare genetic condition causing nerve tumors and potential complications like blindness or learning disabilities - impacting approximately 1 in 2,000 births. It directly affects Pennsylvanians living with neurofibromatosis, their families, and healthcare providers by promoting education and support efforts.
