          SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 109          WHEREAS, Bleeding Disorders Awareness Month is being   observed in March 2025 to focus attention on hemophilia and other   hereditary bleeding disorders that impact the lives of some three   million Americans; and            WHEREAS, Bleeding disorders are characterized by the   body's inability to form proper blood clots, which occurs due to   defects in platelets, clotting proteins, or blood vessels;   although these diseases are almost always inherited, in rare   cases, they may develop later in life when the body develops an   autoimmune response to the blood's natural clotting factors; and            WHEREAS, When the normal clotting process is diminished,   patients may experience problems with bleeding excessively from   relatively minor injuries; other symptoms can include easy   bruising, unexplained nosebleeds, and anemia; if not treated   effectively, bleeding disorders can be fatal; and            WHEREAS, Hemophilia Awareness Month was first designated   federally in March 1986; three decades later, in March 2016, the   Department of Health and Human Services expanded the observance   to include other bleeding disorders, such as von Willebrand   disease; and            WHEREAS, Bleeding disorders are life-changing and   potentially deadly conditions, and Bleeding Disorders Awareness   Month serves as a means of rallying support for vital research   and resources that can help improve the outlook for those living   with these diseases; now, therefore, be it            RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 89th   Legislature, hereby recognize March 2025 as Bleeding Disorders   Awareness Month and encourage all Texans to learn more about   bleeding disorders.     Bettencourt                 ________________________________          President of the Senate               I hereby certify that the     above Resolution was adopted by     the Senate on February 25, 2025.                 ________________________________          Secretary of the Senate                 ________________________________           Member, Texas Senate
