of the central nervous system that interrupts the flow of information between
the brain and the body; and

sclerosis research, including more than twenty disease modifying treatments to

cure; and
WHEREAS, an estimated one million people in the United States are living
with multiple sclerosis, including more than three thousand two hundred people
in Nebraska; and
WHEREAS, Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Month is recognized annually in
March to unite people in Nebraska, the United States, and the world in the
fight to end multiple sclerosis, to create connections stronger than the ones
multiple sclerosis destroys, and to educate people about multiple sclerosis and
what they can do to make a difference.
