ERIC AQUINO
Founder
Gray Strong Foundation was incorporated in 2018. After 12 yrs. of fundraising and raising awareness for individuals with cancer and their families. I was diagnosed with early Onset Parkinson’s at the age of 40. Being the President of a nonprofit organization, and with the support of my family and close friends, We saw the need and opportunity to raise awareness for what him and more than 10 million people worldwide are living with PD are going through.
