Houston Area Parkinson Society

June is Pride Month and to Houston Area Parkinson Society, that's a reminder that Y'all means All. In June and every month, HAPS stands with and welcomes the LGBTQIA+ members of our Parkinson's community. 🏳️‍🌈

The 14th annual Kerr/Thorp Challenge starts now! Donate to HAPS by August 31st and HAPS Advisory Board members Rob Kerr and Jim Thorp will generously match it up to $15,000. This means Rob and Jim will match your contribution with a donation of an equal amount allowing HAPS to provide twice the programming and services.

Donating is easy: visit https://haps.org/support.

HAPS was pleased to have two posters on display at worldpdcongress, exploring PDCoRE and Mind & Motion. Congrats to all who participated in these programs!

From World Parkinson Congress: “One thread, on its own is not strong. Combine that one thread with other threads, and suddenly that simple thread becomes unbreakable, like the Parkinson’s community.”

This crew fought hard during the World Parkinson Congress 🏓 tournament! Proud of their grit!

HAPS offices and groups are closed today May 25th in observance of Memorial Day. We remember those who served. 🇺🇸

So excited to start 2026 in Phoenix, AZ with this HUGE group from HOUSTON (and a few special guests from Corpus Christi).

Question of the week: Hurricane season starts June 1. How would you encourage
your fellow persons with Parkinson’s to prepare?
