Pass a National Transverse Myelitis Awareness Day

The Issue

We are trying to raise awareness of a neurological disorder/condition called Transverse Myelitis and hope to ultimately establish a National Transverse Myelitis Awareness Day. We would be most grateful if you would consider passing a resolution for a National Awareness Day. We have been working on and successfully have had passed a Transverse Myelitis Awareness Day in 11 states and would now like to create a National Day so that people in all states may participate. This is a poorly understood and debilitating disorder/condition that currently has no cure. We believe that raising the awareness of TM will be the first step in directing resources to understand it and to assist those who are afflicted with TM.
