A LITTLE BIT ABOUT PAUL

Paul moved to Wisconsin with his beloved wife, Gail, 15 years ago fulfilling his lifelong dream to live the life of an outdoorsman.  He worked hard at his full-time job to support Gail and to pursue his love of hunting, fishing, and golf.  For many years Paul was also a motorcycle enthusiast, taking cross-country trips on his Harley.

WHY A FUND RAISER

In June of 2009, Paul was diagnosed with a recurrence of Renal Cell Carcinoma. There is no known cure for this chemo- and radiation-resistant form of kidney cancer.  Recently, Paul’s cancer metastasized to his femur and hip; he underwent surgery to insert a rod in his femur to strengthen it. Paul was unable to return to work after the surgery and is considered legally disabled. His medical bills will rise as time goes on and the cancer worsens. 

He and Gail have had to sell their home – and most of their possessions – to avoid foreclosure. They recently moved back to Chicago to be close to family and friends. The only income that Paul and Gail have is what they get monthly from social security. Paul is currently covered by Cobra insurance; he is not eligible for Medicare for 24 months.

PAY IT FORWARD

Throughout his life, Paul has been the first to lend a hand and provide loving support to his family and friends. If you have a problem, you call Paul. Those of us who know him describe Paul as a “what you see is what you get” kind of guy.   He has an upbeat personality and an outrageous sense of humor that is unmatched. Everyone who knows him loves him.
