Ken Jennings is the type of man who does not ask for help, but never hesitates to help others. Mr. Jennings is a genuine man of great virtue and integrity. Ken is a generous and loyal friend. He never has a harsh word to say about anyone. Ken is a man of few words, but has a wonderful sense of humor. He is easy going and fun to be around. He is an accomplished businessman, and an excellent role-model. He is extremely courageous and has handled his diagnosis of PSP with dignity and grace.
We started the Ken Jennings Putt for PSP to help raise awareness of this disease as we had never heard of it prior to our dad developing the symptoms. It is also a way for people to donate to the cause of finding a cure for the thousands of people with this disease.
