The founder of Military Moms of Texas, Tracy LaPorte, recently received news that her 23-year-old US Army Soldier son, Adam Huckstep-LaPorte, was killed instantly while riding his motorcycle just outside his military base in Georgia, when a woman failed to yield the right of way and pulled out in front of him! He was days away from deploying again to fight for our freedoms!
A fund has been set up in his name. The family is facing major costs for attorney fees in order to finalize wishes that Adam had stated prior to his death, execute his affairs and have the driver who killed him (who had prior offenses) charged properly for the accident. Unfortunately, these costs are not going to be covered by any death benefits or insurance settlements. They need help!
Secondly, the memorial fund is also to carryout the “2Step Amendment” for service member assistance by mandating advanced motorcycle training on bases, advanced driver awareness of motorcycles nationwide and mandating that Wills are properly executed for service members.
In honor of Adam “2Step”, as known by family and friends, help us move along the “2Step Amendment” to prevent similar situations happening to other service members and families!
We have two VERY exciting fundraisers coming up, as I mentioned above! PLEASE consider coming out and joining us for one or both of these events!
All funds raised go to the support the tasks mentioned above. Military Moms of Texas is not the beneficiary.
