WHEREAS, Country music artist and native Texan Clay Walker is
playing a significant role in the fight against multiple sclerosis;
and
WHEREAS, Diagnosed with relapsing-remitting multiple
sclerosis in 1996, Mr. Walker has since dedicated his efforts to

established the nonprofit Band Against MS foundation in 2003, and
he lends his support to Race to Erase MS; moreover, he is actively
involved with the Max Cure Foundation, which funds research for the
development of pediatric cancer drug therapies, and with Camp
Heartland, which assists youth who are affected by HIV/AIDS; and
WHEREAS, Born in Beaumont and raised in Vidor, Mr. Walker has
reached multiplatinum status with four albums, producing such hit
songs as "What's It To You" and "She Won't Be Lonely Long" over the
course of his nearly 30-year career; in 2021, he released his most
recent album, Texas to Tennessee, featuring the single "Catching Up
With An Ol' Memory"; and
WHEREAS, Clay Walker has long provided support to those with
multiple sclerosis and to the ongoing search for a cure, and it is
indeed a pleasure to join in honoring him for his important work;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas
Legislature hereby commend Clay Walker for his many contributions
to the fight against multiple sclerosis and extend to him sincere
best wishes for the future; and, be it further
