Hello friends!!   We are hosting a Trot for Trans Lives next Sunday, June 11th in Houston with Cal Dobs. They are doing a Trans Continental Run from LA to Florida to raise awareness about trans sports ban and the bans on gender-affirming care for minors. We are thrilled that Cal will be here to lead the Trot portion of the event. Our Clinic President, Pete Makopoulos-Sentfleber will lead the walk portion with his wife, Amy, and their son, MIlo.   There is an in-person option to Trot/Walk/Stroll the 5k (3.1 miles) with us and a virtual option if you can’t make it. The 5k is family friendly, including leashed dogs!   We will get started at 10 am with a couple of quick talks and start the Trot at 10:30!   The Trot will start at The Houston Holocaust Museum. Huge thanks to the Museum and The Boniuk Center for hosting the kick-off! We will walk around a portion of Hermann Park and then up Crawford Street over to La Branch and end at Axelrad Beer Garden.
