and overall safety to both children and seniors,” stated Portis.
“Becoming a spokesperson for an innovative product like the GPS
SmartSole and all of GTX’s wearable technology offerings is very
rewarding for me. I look forward to reaching out to more
communities and continuing to uphold my ever-important duty as an
ambassador for safety and wellness, at any age.”

is exactly the kind of person we are honored to have on our winning
team of ambassadors, especially as September is Alzheimer’s
