The Cade R. Alpard Foundation for Pediatric Liver Disease was
founded by Jennifer and Scott Alpard after their son Cade received a liver transplant as an infant. The Cade R. Alpard Foundation raises awareness and funds to support research, organ donation and children and families affected by pediatric liver disease. For nearly two decades, the foundation has worked to advance research, treatment, and care for these children. Now celebrating its 19th year in the Houston Marathon’s Run for a Reason program, the foundation proudly honors Cade’s journey—now a healthy 23-year-old and Texas A&M graduate—by giving hope to others.
