PHENOM AON JONES

By Brandi Bard-Boehm

My Handi-Capable Reporter is pleased to introduce Aon Jones to you. Aon Jones is a 49-year-old college-educated professional woman who has worked as a certified tax accountant.

In 1980, she was diagnosed with a serious systemic illness called SARCOIDOSIS, a form of inflammation in which lymphocytes a type of blood cells which attract other inflammatory cells in various organs of the body, such as the lungs (causing shortness of breath, cough and chest pain), sometimes causing severe scarring (fibrosis), all the way sometimes to respiratory failure. If the eyes of an individual having SARCOIDOSIS are burning, itching, or light sensitive blindness may occur. The skin may develop reddish-blue patches, rash, or small growths, which are skin nodules, which can burst, open and bleed.

Ms. Jones was first thought to have CARPELTUNNEL SYNDROME in her wrist and was told to wear a wrist brace. SARCOIDOSIS was correctly diagnosed in 1999 as she had lesions over her entire body including her legs, and back. Her hands were swollen and very painful, she was told by a doctor not to work any longer; however her work was to provide affordable community based TAX INFORMATION for the people of her Southern California area. Aon's breezy manner and constant optimism masked a firm seriousness about her work.

This phenom is mainly involved in the research of regulations, cases and rulings related to major accounting, auditing and tax issues affecting taxpayers. She was also a notary public. This positive happy woman was the PRESIDENT and founder of ACTION 2, a full service business support company providing accounting technology, and more in Inglewood, California.
