The Paul Jackson Fund is a charity that provides assistance to families in financial crisis due to catastrophic illness or disability.  The Fund was started in 1991 to assist Paul Jackson who became paralyzed from a surgery to remove a spinal cord tumor.  After he no longer needed the assistance of The Fund, Paul took control of it, and assisted those most in need.  After a courageous battle with cancer, Paul passed away in 2009.  His wish was for The Fund to continue.  For more information about The Fund or to register for the 5K/Walk, please visit us at :  www.pauljacksonfund.org.
