Senate Resolution No. 207

BY: Senator PARKER

 RECOGNIZING May 10, 2025, as World Lupus Day

 WHEREAS, May 10th is known as World Lupus Day to show support for
the 105,400 New Yorkers, 1.5 million Americans and 5 million people
worldwide who suffer from the often debilitating effects of Lupus, a
chronic autoimmune disease that can cause severe damage to the tissue
and organs in the body and, in some cases, death; and

 WHEREAS, Each year thousands of people are newly diagnosed with
Lupus, the great majority of whom are young people in the prime of their
lives, and 90% of whom are women; and

 WHEREAS, Lupus is most prevalent among African-Americans, Hispanics,
Native Americans, and Asians; tragically, thousands of people die from
Lupus each year because a cure remains elusive; and

 WHEREAS, Many health professionals are unaware of symptoms and
health effects of Lupus, causing people with Lupus to suffer for many
years before they obtain a correct diagnosis and medical treatment,
demonstrating the need for increased public and professional awareness
of Lupus; and

 WHEREAS, Medical research efforts into Lupus and the discovery of
safer, more effective treatments for Lupus patients are under-funded in
comparison with diseases of comparable magnitude and severity; and

 WHEREAS, Increasing community awareness and focusing public
attention on Lupus and its devastating impact on patients' lives will
provide hope for a better future for those affected; and

 WHEREAS, This Legislative Body recognizes the needs of those
chronically ill people who are living with Lupus and urges all citizens
to support the search for a cure and assist those individuals and
families who deal with this devastating disease on a daily basis; now,
therefore, be it

 RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
recognize May 10, 2025, as World Lupus Day.
