Huntington Disease Awareness Month

Whereas, Huntington’s Disease is an inherited, progressively degenerative brain disorder which results in a loss of both mental capability and physical control over a twelve to fifteen year period; and,

Whereas, Early symptoms can appear slowly and can include involuntary movements of the body and limbs, marked changes in personality and increasing forgetfulness; and,

Whereas, Huntington’s disease affects both sexes as well as all races and ethnic groups throughout the world; and,

Whereas, Currently, there is no cure for Huntington’s Disease, however, since the discovery of the gene that causes the disease in 1993, the pace of Huntington’s Disease research has accelerated; and,

Whereas, The Michigan Chapter of the Huntington’s Disease Society of America, whose tireless efforts advocating for families, educating the public and providing support and services to affected families living with this disease certainly deserves praise and recognition; and now therefore be it,

Resolved, That I, Jennifer M. Granholm, Governor of the State of Michigan, do hereby proclaim May, 2004, as Huntington Disease Awareness Month in Michigan.
