Assembly Resolution No. 169

BY: M. of A. Rosenthal

 HONORING Jane Petty for her outstanding education,
 research, advocacy, and fundraising efforts for
 lymphatic disease awareness on March 6, 2025

 WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body that the quality
and character of life in the communities across New York State are
reflective of the concerned and dedicated efforts of organizations and
individuals committed to helping to improve the lives of others; and

 WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and fully in accord with its
long-standing tradition, this Legislative Body is justly proud to honor
Jane Petty for her outstanding education, research, advocacy, and
fundraising efforts for lymphatic disease awareness upon the observance
of the 10th Annual World Lymphedema Day on March 6, 2025; and

 WHEREAS, World Lymphedema Day is an annual celebratory event to
raise awareness and encourage collaboration among people living with
lymphatic diseases, healthcare professionals, policymakers, and the
general public to collectively strive towards a world where lymphatic
diseases are a global priority and ultimately cured; and

 WHEREAS, Up to ten million Americans, and 250 million worldwide,
live with lymphedema and lymphatic diseases, including many who have
received treatment for cancer; and

 WHEREAS, A resident of New Rochelle, New York, Jane Petty's fierce
advocacy began with a personal connection as a person living with
lymphedema, inspiring her to become a passionate advocate for all those
affected by lymphatic diseases through her exceptional service to the
Lymphatic Education & Research Network (LE&RN); and

 WHEREAS, Jane Petty, along with her husband E. Frederick Petty, has
been a supporting member of LE&RN since 2017, and a team captain and
fundraiser for the NY Run/Walk to Fight Lymphatic Diseases since 2018;
and

 WHEREAS, Jane Petty was the inspiration for a four-year grant LE&RN
received to support its Centers of Excellence program; and

 WHEREAS, Jane Petty successfully worked with a New York based
organization, the Salice Family Foundation, to provide LE&RN with a
three-year grant to support research initiatives; she is now organizing
events of like-minded advocates to support LE&RN further; and

 WHEREAS, Jane Petty has promoted lymphatic disease education,
research, and advocacy as an Ambassador of LE&RN, and her
accomplishments amplify the mission of World Lymphedema Day, inspiring
the next generation of researchers and healthcare providers; and

 WHEREAS, It is the custom of this Legislative Body that those who
enhance the well-being and vitality of their community and have shown a
long and sustained commitment to excellence certainly have earned the

recognition and applause of all the citizens of this great Empire State;
now, therefore, be it

 RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
honor Jane Petty for her outstanding education, research, advocacy, and
fundraising efforts for lymphatic disease awareness; and be it further

 RESOLVED, That copies of this Resolution, suitably embossed, be
transmitted to Jane Petty and LE&RN.
