SRES 447 United States Senate · 119th Congress

A resolution designating September 25, 2025, as "National Ataxia Awareness Day", and raising awareness of ataxia, ataxia research, and the search for a cure.

SRES 447 designates September 25, 2025, as "National Ataxia Awareness Day" to increase public and medical awareness of ataxia, a rare neurological condition affecting movement coordination. The resolution directly supports individuals with ataxia (affecting fewer than 200,000 people in the U.S.), their families, and researchers working toward treatments and cures. It encourages improved diagnosis, access to care, and accelerated research by raising awareness of ataxia’s causes, symptoms, and challenges. As a symbolic resolution, it does not create new laws or funding but promotes public engagement with the condition.
