        MEMORIALIZING Governor Andrew M. Cuomo to proclaim
        May 2020, as Neurofibromatosis Month in the State of
        New York

  WHEREAS,  It  is  the  custom  of this Legislative Body to recognize
official months that are set aside  to  increase  awareness  of  serious
illnesses that affect the lives of citizens of New York State; and

  WHEREAS,  This  Legislative  Body  is  justly  proud  to memorialize
Governor Andrew M. Cuomo to  proclaim  May  2020,  as  Neurofibromatosis
Month  in  the  State of New York, in conjunction with the observance of
National Neurofibromatosis Month; and

  WHEREAS, Neurofibromatosis  (NF),  a  debilitating  tumor  disorder,
affects more than 130,000 Americans; and

  WHEREAS, Neurofibromatosis Northeast has worked for over 30 years on
its mission to find a cure for NF; and

  WHEREAS,  With  a  mission  to  finding a treatment and cure for NF,
Neurofibromatosis Northeast promotes  research,  creates  awareness  and
supports those who are affected by NF; and

  WHEREAS,  Increased  awareness  of  NF  will  help initiate critical
research;  NF  patients  and  their  families  are  determined  to  make
Neurofibromatosis a household word; and

  WHEREAS,  It  is  imperative that there be greater awareness of this
serious health condition, and more must be done to increase activity  at
the local, State and National levels; now, therefore, be it

  RESOLVED,  That  this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
memorialize  Governor  Andrew  M.  Cuomo  to  proclaim  May   2020,   as
Neurofibromatosis Month in the State of New York; and be it further

  RESOLVED,  That  a  copy  of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
