Shawn is collecting all his high-fives, using both his right AND left hands! 🙌❤️

It's so moving to watch both Shawn and Joni stretch, reach, and use their hands and arms on their injury-affected sides. Every movement represents determination, progress, and the power of never giving up.

Your tenacity inspires us so! And what a special treat to have Sydney stop by for a visit, too! 🎶💜🤗

This is why we do what we do at TangoStride! Every step, every reach, and every accomplishment matters.

We have been waiting to share this with you! 💙

We are so happy to welcome Juan Sanchez Ríos as our guest speaker for the 11th Annual Hugs that Empower Soirée for TangoStride.

Juan is determined to keep improving his mobility. Since joining our TangoStride program in 2022, 3 years after his stroke at just 48 years old, Juan has been steadfast in his commitment to showing up and doing the work. He's always encouraging his fellow classmates, saying baby steps and don't quit, don't give up. He is an important part of our program and we are so excited to feature his inspiring story.

We cannot wait for you to hear from Juan on November 21.

Another wonderful reason to join us!

Why does Hugs that Empower exist?

Because traditional rehabilitation may end while someone still has goals they want to reach.

Through TangoStride, we help fill that gap and support people with disabilities as they continue working toward improved walking ability and their full potential for a vibrant life.

That is the mission you support when you join us at the Soirée for TangoStride.
November 21. Will you be there?
