A HOUSE RESOLUTION to recognize the sufferers of
Myotonic Dystrophy in Indiana, and to raise awareness of the
disease.
Whereas, Myotonic Dystrophy is the most common form of
muscular dystrophy to arise in adulthood; and
Whereas, there is no cure for Myotonic Dystrophy; and
Whereas, sufferers of Myotonic Dystrophy must struggle
against a range of often debilitating symptoms, requiring
constant effort, vigilance and hopefulness; and
Whereas, the sufferers of Myotonic Dystrophy, as well as
their friends and families, require the continuing assistance and
compassion of their neighbors in their own communities and
across Indiana: Therefore,
SECTION 1. That the Indiana House of Representatives officially
recognizes the struggle of those who suffer from Myotonic Dystrophy,
and honors their courage, patience and perseverance.
SECTION 2. That the House urges all branches of government, as
well as the citizens of Indiana, to be mindful of the problem of
Myotonic Dystrophy, to raise awareness of it in others, and to take any
action they can to alleviate the suffering of those who are afflicted by
it.
SECTION 3. That the Principal Clerk of the House transmit a copy
of this resolution to the Committees on Public Health of the House and
Senate, the Myotonic Dystrophy Foundation, the Muscular Dystrophy
Association, and Mr. Robert J. Emery of South Bend.
