_______________________________________________________________________

RESOLUTION

Designating September 2025 as ``National Spinal Cord Injury Awareness
Month''.

Whereas approximately 308,000 individuals in the United States live with spinal
cord injuries, which cost society billions of dollars in health care
costs and lost wages;
Whereas there are approximately 18,000 new spinal cord injuries in the United
States each year;
Whereas more than 42,000 individuals with spinal cord injuries are veterans;
Whereas motor vehicle accidents are the leading cause of spinal cord injuries;
Whereas almost half of all spinal cord injuries sustained by individuals 30
years of age or younger occur as a result of a vehicular accident;
Whereas the average remaining years of life for individuals living with spinal
cord injuries has not improved significantly since the 1980s;
Whereas there is an urgent need to develop new neuroprotection, pharmacological,
and regeneration treatments to reduce, prevent, and reverse paralysis;
and
Whereas education and funding in research are key factors in improving outcomes
for individuals living with spinal cord injuries, enhancing the quality
of life of individuals with spinal cord injuries, and ultimately curing
paralysis: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate--

(1) designates September 2025 as ``National Spinal Cord
Injury Awareness Month'';

(2) supports the goals and ideals of National Spinal Cord
Injury Awareness Month;

(3) continues to support research to find better
treatments, therapies, and a cure for spinal cord injuries;

(4) supports clinical trials for new therapies that offer
promise and hope to individuals living with paralysis; and

(5) commends the dedication of national, regional, and
local organizations, researchers, doctors, volunteers, and
people across the United States who are working to improve the
quality of life of individuals living with spinal cord injuries
and their families.
