HOUSTON (KTRK) -- Former NFL
player Kevin Everett on Friday launched a new
foundation aimed at helping people like him, who
have suffered a sports related spinal injury.
The Beaumont native launched the Kevin Everett
Foundation at a luncheon today in southwest Houston.
The foundation will help people with spinal cord
injuries sustained through sports.
Everett was left paralyzed after taking a hit during an
NFL game in September, but has made a full recovery.
"The medical bills are very expensive and I mean, it's
hard for some low income families to afford to get a
wheelchair for their family member that's injured or
something like that," Everett told us. "So that's why I
feel it's on me to start this foundation so I can help
out with those things."

Foundation.
