Whereas, the members of the South Carolina Senate are pleased to recognize the Corey Mitchell Multiple Sclerosis Foundation for supporting people who suffer from multiple sclerosis; and

 

Whereas, Corey Mitchell, the founder and CEO of the Corey Mitchell Multiple Sclerosis Foundation, created the foundation to raise awareness about the disease and support people who have been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, a chronic and often unpredictable disease that affects the central nervous system; and

 

Whereas, the foundation's mission is to support individuals and families affected by multiple sclerosis through education, outreach, advocacy, and opportunity, while restoring hope and dignity to those who often feel unseen; and
