We are running the Houston half-marathon to raise money for the Houston Area Parkinson Society ("HAPS") - an amazing organization that we dearly love.
Gabe's father, Luis "Lucho", has had Parkinsons for over 30 years, and Gabe's mother, Silvia, was diagnosed with Lewy body Disease with Parkinsons back in 2014. HAPS has been a God send for our family, providing much needed educational / caregiver support for the family and therapeutic services for Mom and Dad.
HAPS is a non-profit organization that serves, educates and advocates for those affected by Parkinson’s disease in our community. HAPS offers numerous programs and services to the Parkinson's community. Over 40 weekly exercise, water, music and speech therapy groups in addition to tai chi, tango, yoga, dance, singing and non-contact boxing classes are made available by HAPS free of charge.
As we run in honor of Lucho and Silvia, please help us help HAPS and 1000s of people in our home town afflicted with Parkinson's disease.
Thank you in advance for your support,
Steph and Gabe
