I think it's a good idea to have a day dedicated to raising awareness about APOL1-Mediated Kidney Disease. This bill could help educate more people about this condition and potentially lead to earlier detection and better treatment options. I wonder how this awareness day will impact the lives of those affected by AMKD in the long run.
