MEMORANDUM

Posted: March 10, 2014 01:16 PM
From: Representative Robert F. Matzie
To: All House members
Subject: Resolution Recognizing April 2014 as “Limb Loss Awareness Month” in Pennsylvania
 

In the near future, I plan on introducing a resolution recognizing April 2014 as “Limb Loss Awareness Month” in Pennsylvania.

Almost 2 million Americans of all ages, races and genders have had amputations with an average of 500 Americans losing a limb daily. Limb loss can result from many factors including vascular deficiencies, bone malignancies, congenital defects or as the result of an accident.

The Amputee Coalition of America states that “Limb Loss Awareness Month” is an opportunity to raise public awareness individuals living with limb loss/difference and to prevent limb loss.

Please consider joining me in helping to raise awareness of the plight faced by those who have lost a limb by recognizing April 2014 as “Limb Loss Awareness Month” in Pennsylvania.
