The undersigned hereby proclaim the month of May to be
NATIONAL ACRANIA AND ANENCEPHALY AWARENESS MONTH and,
May 15 to be
NATIONAL ACRANIA AND ANENCEPHALY AWARENESS DAY
so that we can urge all the citizens of our great country to familiarize themselves with the risks to their developing child associated with Acrania, Anencephaly and all Neural Tube Defects which are the most prevalent defects seen in developing infants, recognize the genetic and environmental risk factors that cause NTDs, and understand the economic medical costs to caring for these infants and children so that we can begin exploring better prevention and supporting medical research in order to reduce the devastating effects of Acrania, Anencephaly and other NTDs on our population.
