Why: Houston Area Parkinson Society (HAPS) is an organization that is near and dear to the members of the Randy Rogers Band. Guitar player Geoffrey Hill's father, George, was diagnosed with Parkinson's in his 40's and found HAPS not longer after being diagnosed. Here is his story...

As a teenager I found three loves - music, science and my high school sweetheart, now wife, Janet. I put myself through school by playing guitar and was offered the chance to open for Willie and Dolly in Vegas. My love of Janet and science won out and I went to work for Royal Dutch Shell as a lab technician in research and development.

In my 40s, I was at the pinnacle of my career with Shell when I noticed my left side didn't work as well as it used to. Several doctors and many tests later, I was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease (PD). After the word, "Parkinson's," I only heard roaring in my ears like a subway tunnel and went back to the office to cry alone. When I got there, I noticed my co-workers had put yellow sticky notes on my personal belongings to divide among themselves. This was a gesture of unity and support, although, it might have been better timed. And when I told the members of my band-friends I had known for years-they dropped out of the band and formed a new band which didn't include me.

Even the best doctors in the world can't help you deal with how PD affects all aspects of your life. One Internet search later, I found HAPS. I called and was invited to a Young Onset support group. Janet and I went, scared to death; but it saved our lives. The compassion and sensitivity HAPS provided helped us deal with the reality so we could move through the grief. We learned how to tell our children, ask questions, "come out" to my employer, and find a physician we could really work with and how to live life with Parkinson's. Without HAPS, there would be no place to go for crucial services to help me live with this chronic, progressive neurodegenerative disease. I owe my life to HAPS. Please include HAPS in your annual giving - your gift will help provide a lifeline for others with Parkinson's like me." George Hill

George's story is not only personal for his son Geoffrey, it speaks volumes to all of the members of the Randy Rogers Band and they want to give back to HAPS for all that they have done and continue to do for George and others like him.
