About

The Taylor Hooton Foundation was formed in memory of Taylor E. Hooton, a 17-year old high school athlete from Plano, TX.  Taylor took his own life on July 15, 2003 as a result of the use of anabolic steroids. The Foundation was founded by the parents, family and friends of Taylor after his death when the founders became aware of the magnitude of a growing problem among high school and college students across the U.S. and Canada – the illegal use and abuse of anabolic steroids as an appearance and performance    enhancement drug in addition to the abuse of HGH and other APEDs by our kids.  They discovered that this is a serious problem among young athletes and non-athletes, and learned that young people and their parents are generally ignorant of either the prevalence of or the real dangers of these powerful drugs.
