The Cade R. Alpard Foundation for Pediatric Liver Disease was founded by Jennifer & Scott Alpard in 2003 when their son, Cade, underwent a life-saving liver transplant at age 1. At the time of the 2022 marathon, Cade will be a healthy 19-year-old studying Sports Management at Texas A&M University. Our foundation raises money for pediatric liver research and education and awareness for organ donation. Thank you for helping make our 15th year as a Houston Marathon Run for a Reason Charity, the best year yet!
