2	8		WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
3	9		recognize May 6, 2025, as Alzheimer's Advocacy Day at the State
4	10		Capitol; and
5	11		WHEREAS, Alzheimer's disease, the most common cause of
6	12		dementia, is estimated to affect nearly seven million Americans
7	13		and more than 460,000 Texans; it is a progressive
8	14		neurodegenerative condition that is characterized by the
9	15		accumulation of abnormal proteins and the gradual deterioration
10	16		of neurons in the brain, which leads to memory loss and varying
11	17		degrees of disability in the individuals it affects; and
12	18		WHEREAS, The sixth most common cause of death in the United
13	19		States, Alzheimer's disease has no existing cure, and treatments
14	20		are aimed at slowing its advancement and improving the quality of
15	21		life of those impacted by the disease; and
16	22		WHEREAS, By age 65, one in nine Americans will develop
17	23		Alzheimer's disease, and this figure increases to one in three by
18	24		the age of 85; as the disease progresses, individuals can exhibit
19	25		severe cognitive and physical impairments and may require
20	26		around-the-clock assistance with daily tasks; more than one
21	27		million devoted caregivers in Texas provide unpaid, at-home care
22	28		for family members or loved ones who are Alzheimer's patients,
23	29		and the indirect effects on business and the labor market result
24	30		in tremendous losses in human capital; and
25	31		WHEREAS, With the number of Texans living with Alzheimer's
26	32		disease projected to grow substantially by 2030, developing new
27	33		treatments and expanding research efforts has become an ever more
28	34		urgent priority, and increasing knowledge and awareness of this
29	35		devastating disease provides families and communities the
30	36		opportunity to better plan for the future and access treatment,
31	37		research trials, and caregiving support; now, therefore, be it
32	38		RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 89th
33	39		Legislature, hereby recognize May 6, 2025, as Alzheimer's
34	40		Advocacy Day at the Capitol and commend the families and
35	41		caregivers of individuals with Alzheimer's disease on their
36	42		tireless efforts to provide care and the researchers and medical
37	43		professionals who work to understand, treat, and develop a cure
38	44		for Alzheimer's disease; and, be it further
39	45		RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in
40	46		honor of Alzheimer's Advocacy Day.
