By: Allen | H.R. No. 87 |
|
||
WHEREAS, The Ashley Jadine Foundation is holding its sixth | ||
annual Health Fair and 5K Walk in Missouri City on November 4, 2023, | ||
providing a fitting opportunity to recognize the organization for | ||
its dedicated efforts to prevent suicide among young people; and | ||
WHEREAS, In 2012, Cheryl Duncan established the foundation in | ||
loving memory of her daughter, Ashley Jadine Duncan, who tragically | ||
died by suicide at the age of 17; the nonprofit strives to raise | ||
awareness of the issue of youth suicide, to reverse the stigma of | ||
mental illness, to promote the responsible use of social media, and | ||
to provide assistance to those affected by suicide; and | ||
WHEREAS, Suicide is a leading cause of death for individuals | ||
ages 15 to 24 as well as college students; approximately every 13 | ||
minutes, another life is lost to suicide in the United States; | ||
community involvement and support are key to reducing the incidence | ||
of suicide among teens and young adults, and through education, | ||
outreach, community events, scholarships, and other services, the | ||
Ashley Jadine Foundation is equipping citizens with the tools | ||
necessary to ensure that those in crisis receive the help they need; | ||
and | ||
WHEREAS, Through its tireless efforts, the Ashley Jadine | ||
Foundation is making a lasting and positive difference in the lives | ||
of countless youth and families across the Greater Houston area, | ||
and it is a pleasure to join in recognizing the organization for its | ||
myriad contributions; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas | ||
Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby honor the Ashley Jadine | ||
Foundation on the occasion of its sixth annual Health Fair and 5K | ||
Walk and extend to all those associated with the organization | ||
sincere appreciation for their important work; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for the foundation as an expression of high regard by the | ||
Texas House of Representatives. |
